Vince and List, Several factors combine to make these strings superior: 1.- A more malleable (ductile) core, usually more closely matching the diameter of _older_ string sets; 2.- Nearly pure copper win as opposed to the "electrical grade" used by other makers (electrical grade, I'm told, has a lower copper content in order to delay the effects of electrolysis, but I'm not an engineer); 3.- A manufacturer small enough to maintain excellent quality control, and knowledgeable enough to be able to provide custom suggestions for specific applications. In a whole bunch of sets, no duds, just good sound - right from the first.
