Review: Ideales para archtop y resonadoras - Recién puestas suenan muy metálicas, pero al cabo de un tiempo suenan bien y siguen sonando bien mucho tiempo. Son perfectas para archtops acústicas y para resonadoras. En guitarras acústicas tipo flat top me suenan poco cálidas.
Review: Corde G aigue qui a pété pendant l'installation ! - Le G aiguë (0.23) a pété malgré toute ma prudence et précaution. Le pire, c'est que j'ai remplacé cette corde par une d'un jeu Martin authentic tirant 10 (MA-500) Et malgré toute ma précaution redoublée, elle a aussi pété ! Finalement, j'ai remplacé la fameuse corde par une de tirant 12 et ça va. Bref, mauvaise expérience malgré le son magnifique des cordes !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Change is as good as a rest
*by S***S on 11 February 2025*

I've bought Elixir strings for as long as I can remember and can't fault them...so why did I buy Martin strings? Well, I'd bought a Martin guitar and so thought I'd match it up with these strings as they were highly recommended. I'm not a big fan of new strings...much prefer them when they've been on a few weeks and lost that bright zingy sound. These didn't really suffer too much from that and whilst they sounded new and bright they had a rich depth from the off. I've had them on now for around 3 months and they still sound excellent and stay in tune despite some bending and changing tunings several times. They are certainly as good as Elixr strings whether they ;last as long remains to be seen but so far so good...I should add, I keep strings on for a long time as I like the dull sound as they age! I would recommend trying them as theya re a good price and I'm sure you don't need a MArtin to appreciate their sound.
