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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these ball end?**
A: Yes ball end. They are a good string although I find them just a little 'quieter' than the other phosphor bronze D'Addario strings I use.
Happy to recommend them and indeed  most D'Addario strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic strings
*by L***O on 7 February 2024*

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but better than other string sets
*by A***S on 6 September 2019*

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.
