Simply the best...

As a full-time working acoustic soloist, I play between three and six dates a week, every week, and the Elixir strings have proven to be the most road-worthy strings I've ever used. The clarity and brightness of tone are complimented by full sounding bass response on my Larrivee six string, giving me a well balanced sound in both accompaniment and lead roles.

Sets vary, as do playing conditions (I do lots of outdoor patio gigs in humid Summer weather) but I've never used any other string that maintains its quality of sound as long as the Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze strings. Most times I can get two to three weeks out of a set, as opposed to two or three nights out of other brands. I have tried a couple other "coated" strings on the market and neither of them had the good sound or the longevity of the Elixirs. They are expensive, which is tough, but as a working pro, my experience is nothing else compares...

I believe these are the best strings you can buy. I thought I would see how long these strings would hold their tone. I played these every day (2 hours a day) for 3 months and they still are great, there was only a discoloration from my perspiration

But .... for the 99%, they sound good and last a long time. I'm giving a 4.5 because of the particles that fall off and land near the soundhole. This comes with the territory of… read more treated strings and occurs at the picking area.
