Steel strings are stretched on folk guitars. A whole set of steel strings is colloquially named after the high e-string. So in a set of 10, the high e string is 0.010 inches in diameter. Based on this, you can then derive the strength of the other strings, since the common sentences are standardized. The standard material used for wrapping steel strings is bronze. An 80/20 alloy (80% copper, 20% tin) is common. In terms of sound, bronze strings are metallic and assertive in terms of height. Phosphor bronze strings are somewhat harder and more resistant to corrosion. This is an alloy that usually consists of 90-92% copper and 9.5% - 7.5% tin; the rest is phosphorus, these sound a little softer and warmer.

80/20 Bronze are D'Addario's brightest acoustic strings, made to give your guitar an unparalleled shine. These bold sounding strings were developed by John D'Addario Sr. and guitar maker John D'Angelico in the 1930s, and have been beloved for their sparkling, trebly tone ever since. Made with a high carbon steel core and 80/20 Bronze wrap wire, 80/20 acoustic strings offer remarkable depth, along with rich, bright harmonics, and powerful projection. 10-47 Extra Light gauge strings are easy to play and easy to bend.
The Medium (.013-.056) string set for acoustic guitar from the D'Addario XS series offers a high level of durability, corrosion protection and playing comfort. The strings, which are wrapped in a phosphor bronze alloy, have a microscopic coating that has been fused with the string. This creates a soft feel and the spaces between the wrapping are reliably protected from sweat and corrosion. At the same time, the strings offer a high sound quality, as the coating has a significantly lower damping effect than conventional coated strings. The string cores made of D'Addario's high-quality NY Steel, in turn, ensure maximum tear resistance and tuning stability.Features:Set of strings for acoustic guitarPhosphor bronzeMedium .013-056Advanced coating technology offers maximum protection against sweat and dirt depositsThe microscopically thin coating on the wrapped strings is fused with the string, so that the wrapping spaces are also protected and the strings offer a pleasantly soft feelVery good sound properties thanks to less damping than other coated stringsString cores made of D'Addario "NY Steel" ensure maximum optimized tear resistance and tuning stabilityBare steel strings with polymer treatment100% recyclable packaging and strings in resealable VCI bags
