Coated strings

Coated strings carry a thin polymer layer, or a surface treatment, over the wrap wire to slow down corrosion and dirt build-up. Each maker uses its own process. WikiStrings has 4 sets in this group: Martin MA540T, D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze, DR DSA-12, Elixir 11050. Listen to them below, then switch to a set of another material to hear what the alloy changes.
