D'Addario EJ40 Silk & Steel Folk, 11-47

Fine strings. Guitar sounds fuller and strings are abit easier to fret. Great for Jazz and folk.

I am trying these out on my Oribe Gran Parlor steel string acoustic. The tension is less than the D'Addario Phosphorus Bronze light. It is also not as loud. But it sounds sweet and clean. I have nothing to compare them to as of yet. I will be trying the D'Addario Silk and Steel next.
I usually play a classical guitar or a Jazz archtop guitar., with flatwounds Jazz light Chrome by D'Addario. So this is completely different.

The color coding made it easier to restring my guitar. I am just a beginner and have not played much, but they seem to be just fine. (your strings were recommended by a friend).

Recently, I bought a GS Mini Acoustic Guitar from a local shop in my city. The strings on it needed changing and the strings that the shop owner put on were John Pearse Jazz Manouche strings. The first string (high E) had a blemish on the string .. a small glob of steel that had eluded their quality control I guess. I found the sound to be rather bright, the bass to be understated and my fingers were working hard. Upon the suggestion of my teacher, we changed the strings to the D’Addario EJ-40 Silk and Steel strings. What a difference to the sound, now round and mellow, the bass was able to speak and the playability of the guitar, without changing the action, was greatly improved. I realize these are subjective words I’m using, but it was a significant difference in the right direction imo. Now I’m ordering more of these strings from SBM. Bonnie

Very nice strings...
