A longer life due to there being no angular surfaces under the wrapping wire where dirt can accumulate, deadening the string and increasing it's susceptibility to corrosion. We have consulted many, many players who use our strings to find out what they like about them, and the most common response about our round cored ranges of strings are as follows: Our round cored strings have a slightly lower tension to pitch than hexagonal cored strings, meaning less strain on the guitar neck and soundboard. Most guitar strings are made on a hexagonal core, because it is easier to mass manufacture strings and achieve fairly consistent products.
Piano strings often utilise a round core wire and it struck me that piano strings must be made to last many years and maybe round cores had something to do with their longevity. The major reason why Newtone strings may feel or play differently lies with our use of round core wire in all our Phosphor Bronze strings and some of our Nickel and Stainless Steel strings. They are warm and melow without the string squeal of single wrap strings. Newtone Master Class Acoustic Double Wound Strings 11-52Ī Double wrap of Phosphor Bronze over a Round core gives hese strings a unique feel and sound.
