Topic: D'Addario NYXL Strings

D'Addario have produced a new string, the NYXL range and a company we deal with has sent us an e-mail with the following links showing the concept, the opinion of some players, how the strings are made and how they are tested. They are all short videos which I found interesting and I also found myself wanting to try some out for myself. smile

Re: D'Addario NYXL Strings

i was fascinated by the vids and during the first one i thought thats a job i'd be happy doing, just sitting round playing and talking guitars with the boss.

the one where they show the wires being drawn down to size is what i used to do but with copper wire for electric cables, but basically the same thing.

any samples?
