Thanks for answering my questions a few days ago. I have a green question. Could there be any uses for old stings. I assume all of us throw them out. Could they be recycled in any way ? Thanks Kim Butler Wheeling WV
So Brian
What can we expect in the future in string design? Is your company planning any more new items for this year.

Worth trying these new strings. Will brighten up sound unpluged for certain.

Super cub is great. Top speakers help as monitors. Six five inche total. One channel is voiced for electric. I played concert Saturday night. Mostly acoustic but used Tele on two songs. Ran it into one channel with pedalboard and had plenty of volum…
They are the first set of stings that actually sounded better on my Taylor 514 than Elixers. Have not tried them on my Tele yet.
Your strings seem to be very consistent with tension, not changing relief. Elixers seem to have less tension. DR's seem to have more tension. How many companies have their strings made by others. Thanks for taking time to reply

Besides string noise question: Had question about why different companies light gage seem to pull more on neck. Relief is more or less on different sets of same gauge strings
No it was inside. Guitar is into Phil Jones super cub and then into sound system. Sounded great but was lots of string noise on fingerstyle songs. Guess could wash hands and soften calluses before playing
Love the sound of new coated acoustic strings. Sound brighter than Elixers. They do however make much more noise . Is there any way to quiet them down for fingerstyle. Do not notice stumming.
