D'Addario Silk & Steel Acoustic Guitar Strings - EJ40-6 String - Warm, Mellow Tone - Light, 11-47

Thought I would give these strings a try on my Takamine with a piezo pickup system. Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted. Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording. Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set.

Great tone, great sustain, great playability, and very easy on the fingers. Can't put my Takamine down. Would highly recommend

I prefer these strings to the standard phosphor bronze. They are slightly more mellow and produce considerably less string noise, even compared to the silk and steel strings which are suppose to produce less string noise that these flat tops. They are expensive compared to the others in the D'addario range but in my opinion, they are better strings.

These produce a rich sound with my Jean Larrivee

Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot. I've found the shorter scale length has made the strings too tight to bend, especially as the guitar is set up for 12 and 13 gauge. Further, I've found the Taylor overly bright and was looking for a string to give a more mellow tone. I like my action very low and with other gauge strings managed as low as 1mm at top E 12th fret - yes, it can be done. Had to give the tiniest tweak to the truss rod to stop any buzz but these strings still manage about 1.5mm action. They have a lower tension, fuller sound and are wonderfully soft to the touch.

Best acoustic strings I've tried in a while. I play electric with light gauge strings 90% of the time - these acoustic strings are much lower tension than most others I've tried and it's really easy to get around the fretboard. If I was gigging, not sure - noticeably quieter and less low end. But absolutely great for noodling around at home.

If you don't like the sound of overly bright jangling new strings, try these. Noticeably lower tension, easier on the fingers too!

If you play any kind of finger style and are looking for non-nylon strings, these are the ones to go for. They shine in the highs, their tone is incredible in the lows. Get yourself some, try them out, tell me I'm am idiot if I'm wrong. I won't be wrong though ;)

Arrivate oggi, montate sulla chitarra (LAG T318D) sulla quale usavo corde Daddario XS 12-53 con un bel suono, ma per me un po' troppo "metallico". Alla ricerca di corde diverse ho visionato quasi tutti i video comparativi delle varie corde su Youtube ed alla fine ho decisi di provare le SILK & STEEL EJ40. Prime impressioni sono state subito molto buone, corde morbide, suono caldo e al tempo stesso brillante, adatto al mio modo si suonare. Spero che resti così per un po' di tempo e non si "scurisca" troppo nei prossimi mesi, in ogni caso a cquisterò subito una nuova confezione di ricambio.

Excelente calidad

Auf den EJ35 Saitensatz komme ich immer wieder zurück. Schon nach kurzer Einspielzeit hat meine Seagull S12 einen perfekten Klang. Kein Blechsound oder scheppern bei softer Bespielbarkeit , transparente höhen und einen akzeptablen Bass. Die Tension von ca 120kg gibt der Gitarre eine chance über Jahre zu bestehen. Man muß kaum nachstimmen. Ich finde die Addario echt top, habe noch nichts besseres gefunden. Gruß aus Köln

Made a big difference to playing

This is a hutar string between nylon ad steel. Create very soft notes. Good choice for acoustic guitars if you are somewhere in between classic and acoustic. Good for finger style. It is not a replacement of nylon classic guitar but a very good solution for steel string guitars. Nice sound.
