Durable and clear sounding strings

Anonymous 27.09.2016

I've put these on a Harley Benton Custom Line Manhattan-Standard and used it for recording; they have a rich and powerful sound which enhances the acoustic resonance qualities of this particular guitar. The advertised long tone durability is not just a marketing hoax, and it's something for which I've known Blue Steel strings for a long time. The tone quality does not deteriorate after the first few weeks (like it is the case with certain strings), and the strings don't have a particularly sparkly and bright tone to begin with; it's reasonably balanced throughout their entire lifetime.

I've used their acoustic counterparts on several acoustic guitars and used to break them relatively often, mostly due to my heavy strumming on acoustic guitars trying to keep up in a 15-piece acoustic ensemble. These don't see that much abuse, but nevertheless they seem very durable with no breakage and no rust after three months of fairly regular use (casual half-hour playing every other day on average).

I would recommend these strings as poor man's Elixirs for almost half the price. Based on my past experience, they outperform D'addarios and Ernie Balls in the same price range (in regard to durability and longevity).

Amazing tone and quality! Would recommend to any jazz player. Still can't comment on durability because they have only been on my axe for a week. From the looks of them, they will last long.

Pas mal, mais pas pour moi

J'ai utilisé ce tirant pour jouer en Ré, j'aime quand les cordes sont un peu raides, et ce jeu ne m'a pas paru désagréable a jouer. En revanche, même reproche qu'a beaucoup de jeu avec une corde de sol filée: celle ci n'est pas très résistante: elle marque au niveau des frettes, et elle s'est cassée assez vite. Ensuite j'ai tendance a attaquer fort, donc si vous n'avez pas la réputation d'etre un briseur de corde et que votre touchér n'est pas trop violent, vous devriez aimer. Niveau son, pas de brillance superflue, mais je ne trouve pas que le son reste frais plus longtemps qu'avec des d'addario par exemple.

Erstaunlich langlebig!

Wenn ich Auftritte spiele, wechsel ich normalerweise vor jedem Gig die Saiten. Bei Dean Markley Blue Steel ist mir noch keine gerissen. Klar, es sind auch dicke Saiten und ich spiele sie im C-Standard Tuning. Trotzdem haben sie, meiner Meinung nach, einen guten Klang und spielen sich klasse. Bleiben auch lange "frisch". Da ich sie so tief runterstimme find ich die umwickelte G-Saite sehr angenehm. Hier hält sich das Sustain besser, wenn man mit der G-Saite vom Ernie Ball "Not even slinky" Satz vergleicht. Für mich könnte die Tiefe E-Saite etwas dicker sein, aber bei einem normalen Anschlag ist das C-Tuning prima zu halten. Ein Satz der mich zufriedenstellt.
