The Martin MM12 Retro Monel is a nickel set, .012–.054 (Light), uncoated. Below you can hear it in five playing styles, recorded on the same guitar, by the same guitarist, in the same take as the other 15 sets on WikiStrings.

How to compare it

Start the strings above, let the phrase settle, then switch to another set of the same gauge or the same material: the switch is instant and the music does not restart, so what you hear is the strings, not a different performance. Use the blind test if you want to remove brand bias.
