The new Dean Markleys can't remember the name but they have gold top strings - are fantastic. I too was breaking elixirs all ther time - then went on to the coated D'addarios which went dead after about 2 weeks . had the DM's on over a month and have played them hard - 3 irish sessions a week and a week- end in Glasgow playing 8 hours a day - they're still going strong !!!
