Perfect hybrid-string-set
I have always been a friend of hybrid-string-sets, because thinner treble-strings allow easier bendings and fat bass-strings give you a punchy and powerful sound in the bottom. I have always used an anlog string-set by Ernie Ball (Hybrid Slinky, 2222), but then I found the Pyramid-strings in same gage. They feel a little bit different and sound a little bit different (in my opinion a little bit more peak in the heights), but the most important factor for me: they are cheaper. If you change a lot of strings you will notice saving money! Another positive aspect is the criterion "Made in Germany" - as a german guy I'm not to patriotic, but I like it to support the European community and saving jobs instead of investing in an Amercian company.
All in all: the strings feel good and you have a lot fun when playing guitar!

Tried them, loved them!
Initially I only tried Pyramid strings because, at the price Thomann were asking, I felt that I wouldn’t be losing out by much if I didn’t like them. Now, I buy them every time I shop with Thomann.
The strings are great quality and sound excellent. I’ve never had any issues with tuning stability or breakage and find these strings to last a decent length of time.
I would recommend any musician looking for strings to consider Pyramid. I’ve never been disappointed with these strings and I’ve used them on acoustic, electric and bass.

Good alternative to usual brands
Very good alternative to usual strings brands. Sweet and warm sound even if thin gauge due to the presence of nickel. Also durable and never rusted or broke. Thumbs up!

Best Bang for the Buck
No gimmicks, inexpensive well made strings, good tone, they hold well.
Feel. They don't feel weirdly slippery like new Ernie Ball's, not as harsh on the fingers as some others.
Inexpensive without being cheaply made.
No plastic packaging, which I like but means I'm not buying in bulk (good for the environment, bad for long term storage).
Tone is just the usual nickel on steel.
They rust about the same pace as D'Addario's imo, which is normal and fine. As usual, just remember to wipe your strings after playing and they'll hold twice as long.
Hybrid sets are great! I wish they also did balanced tension sets like D'Addario though.

Pyramid 9's
Pyramid guitar strings, what can i say. If not for thomann i would not have heard of them ! I have used all the usual well known brands for over thirty years (i'm forty four). I have had good but sometimes bad experiences wih 'well known ' strings. But i must say after reading a few reviews online i decided to try them for myslf. The thing is i was concerned that maybe the strings were not so good because they were not expensive ! These strings are very good. They are of excellent quality. Excellent tone, and respond very well to bending. I use the same strings in heavier gauge for my gretsch. These are perfect for the fender. Cant fault them. My strings of choice.

My favourite strings
I bought them once because I was totally broke and couldn't afford any other brand... They turned out to be so great that I haven't used any other strings since then. Very warm sounding, not too bright (just what I like). Keep in mind they are not in a plastic bag - they might not stay fresh after keeping them in poor conditions for too long. It's not a big deal though.

Good strings for me
I'm no connoisseur, and I do respect the opinions of those who really put importance on playing with certain expensive brands, but I cannot personally tell the difference between these Pyramid strings and those from a number of other brands that cost up to twice as much money.

Great budget strings
In my opinion these strings are on par with all the other makes, it is just a decision of personal preferences.
These Pyramid strings have never let me down. They sound good and have been long lasting in my tests. Great value for the price if you consider other strings cost twice as much as the Pyramids.
Made in Germany if that matters for anybody.
Your Teles and Strats will love these strings!
