I recently became enamored of Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze since they've held their tone longer that D'Addario Phosphor Bronze. The first hour of playing was too 'live' but they settled down to the best of phosphor bronze tone, suited for my Gallagher, and have maintained it. After several weeks the coating is fraying on the G string, but no loss of tone. Are they worth the price of 3 sets of D'Addario? Only if you've got a long period when changing strings would be inconvenient and you want to sustain your tone over several musical sets and gigs.

Now on the advice give above to wind a lot of string around the peg, I seriously disagree. I recommend no more than one inch beyond the necessary length of the string, otherwise there is a loss of tone, I believe there is too much resistance to the transfer of tone.
