2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Product Introduction ■XT Strings D'Addario has been working on the development of long-life strings that combine the natural tone and touch feel of non-coated strings, which has been said to be difficult to achieve, by combining the latest proprietary coating technology with materials such as NYSteel and innovative elements such as Fusion Twists.The XT series has achieved unprecedented longevity by applying a coating to all wound and plain strings with a high carbon steel core using a unique coating technology, resulting in a string that boasts a high level of performance in terms of strength, pitch stability, and corrosion resistance that has never been seen before with coated strings.•Natural tone: Plays a long and clear tone similar to the overtones of non-coated strings.•Outstanding pitch stability: Tuning stability has been improved by 131% compared to conventional strings.•Improved strength when picking...Strength tests have shown that the strength has been increased by up to 42%, making it difficult to break.The new coating technology in the XT series allows us to apply an extremely thin micro-polymer coating to all types of strings using a unique new process.In corrosion tests, we succeeded in obtaining higher corrosion resistance performance compared to the previous coated string EXP series, and despite having a longer life and higher corrosion resistance, the strings have a natural sound and feel just like non-coated strings.Additionally, all strings, including plain strings, are coated with this micro-polymer coating.For the EXP series, we outsourced the coating processing of wire materials to an external technology company, but for the XT series, we installed our own new coating equipment within the same company.This allows us to complete the entire manufacturing process within our own facilities, allowing us to coat freshly made wire material in its best condition without the need for extra moving or packaging as in the past.This product is a product from a distributor in Japan.Please note that parallel import products cannot be guaranteed by an agency.Caution (Disclaimer) > Please read the reference price displayed as a reference price is the price assumed by the manufacturer at the time of product release.
