<div>I don't know if there is something unique that Yamaha does in their bass string manufacturing, but I can <SPAN class=correction id="">tell</SPAN> you this: If you try strings from one of the better American shops on a Yamaha or a <SPAN class=correction id="">Kawai</SPAN> you may be very pleasantly surprised. (Of course, you'll have to cut them to length yourself!).</div>

<div><SPAN class=correction id="">Yo</SPAN> list,</div>
<div>A tech in my area told a dealer that Yamaha bass strings are made differently than other strings. Something that is unique to only them. Is this true? I have never seen any evidence of such.</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
