2. D'Addario string

D,Addario berkata "Construction is another key component of string performance. D’Addario offers a variety of construction methods to help you achieve your perfect tone and feel:

Round Wound – The most popular and universal construction, delivers that traditional textured feel most players are familiar and comfortable with.

Polished/Flat Tops - We start with a finished round wound string then carefully flatten the tops of the windings through our unique polishing technique. Flat Tops deliver a smoother feel and reduced finger noise with the flexibility and tension of a round wound string. Great for recording, flatpicking and slide guitar.

Silk &Steel – Silver-plated copper wrap wire interwoven with silk-like fibers for soft, easy fingering and a mellow tone. Preferred by many folk and fingerstyle players.

How do we do it? D’Addario has developed exclusive wire coating machinery which allows us to fully control all critical variables in the coating process. This groundbreaking process draws wire from rod, anneals, cleans, coats, cures and spools in one continuous process ensuring adherence to extremely tight tolerances. Every spool of wire is tested with sophisticated laser refraction technology which measures coating concentricity to 10,000th’s of an inch ensuring unmatched consistency.

This micro-fine coating is applied to wrap wire PRIOR to winding. Strings are wound normally producing an uncoated feel and tone that last at least 4 times longer.

As hundreds of artists and dozens of guitar manufacturers can attest… you won’t believe they are coated! "

merek yang sudah lama kita dengar ini adalah merek yang terkenal di dunia karena dia ada sebelum Elixir ada, jadi ya kebanyakan artis memakai ini karena dengan harganya yang terjangkau dan kualitasnya yang bagus, dan sekarang D'addario memakai coated untuk mendapatkan senar yang lama matinya.

produk dari D'Addario untuk senar gitar gan:

• Bronze.
  
  
  80/20 Bronze, commonly referred to as brass, is the original acoustic string alloy selected by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s. 80/20 Bronze strings are popular for recording due to their crisp, deep and projecting tone and appeal to many traditionalists and vintage enthusiasts for their historical significance. All D'Addario acoustic strings are wound on a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core, resulting in long lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.
  
  senar ini suaranya bagus gan, anda akan mendapatkan intonasi yang bagus digitar, bright sound pastinya, dan long lasting walaupun belum memakai coated. tetapi dia memakai high carbon steel gan yang membuat senarnya ga cepet mati.
  

• phospor bronze.
  
  
  
  Phosphor Bronze was introduced to string making by D'Addario in 1974 and has become synonymous with warm, bright, and well balanced acoustic tone. D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings are precision wound with corrosion resistant phosphor bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is long lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.
