The extra-heavy 12-56 gauge is designed for detuned instruments and players who need maximum tension, low-end authority, and resistance under a forceful attack. The wound strings use nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around tin-plated hex-shaped steel cores, producing a balanced combination of clarity, output, and consistent intonation. Specially tempered, tin-plated high-carbon steel plain strings provide a smooth feel and dependable performance.
Element Shield packaging helps protect the strings from humidity and environmental exposure before the set is opened.
