900MLT Intonation Problems
Review by Ray S. on 1 Nov 2020 review stating 900MLT Intonation Problems Several weeks back I put a set of 900MLT strings on my guitar. While practicing Bach's Prelude BWV 999, I heard a significant clash of sound waves in the octave E notes at the end of measure 21 (E on the fifth string at the seventh fret, E on the third string at the ninth fret). Using my tuner, I checked - and all the open stings were spot on (!) Raising the pitch of the G string to eliminate the clashing E octave notes resulted in problems at other places on the fingerboard. Because my guitar has the nut and saddle shaped to compensate for the "built-in" problems of guitar intonation I was fairly certain that this was string related. I replaced the Hannabachs with D'Addario EJ45s yesterday, and the clashing Es disappeared. Once again, tuning became a breeze. And I was surprised to find that the EJ45s give a much wider palette of sound when playing from over sound hole back towards the bridge.
At a cost only 40% of what the 900MLTs command, I'll stick with the EJ45s!
