GUEST,J Blackwood - Scotland Elixir strings (54* d) Elixir strings 20 Mar 00


Elixir strings have only just become available here and I'm wondering if other people have had my experience with them. They don't sound as bright as bronze wound, to begin with, but don't change much thereafter! I play a lot and I have'nt noticed much difference in a couple of months. My only criticisms are: a. The sixth string is more difficult to tune, and more likely to be out of tune, especially when slack tuned. b. I think they buzz more. ( I have the action low anyway!)

I'd appreciate any observations.
