Martin Strings Acoustic Guitar Strings (MM11)

I love the tone of these strings. They last a lot longer than they should too. I lovely feel when playing too. Definitely my favourite.

I strung these strings onto a standard Takamine and wow it sounds better than my Martin guitar, going to have to restring the Martin now

I bought one set of these and was impressed which prompted me to buy another set that never arrived. My review has no bearing on the quality of the strings which were great quality and had an amazing tone. My only thought on my next purchase that they got lost in the post. I would risk buying another set, a refund was given straight back promptly.

I like to experiment with different strings on my Blueridge acoustic guitar and thought I would try these. I have to say they are fantastic, it took me a short while to get used to the different look and feel (they look like electric guitar strings) but once they settle the tone is great and is different to bronze in that it is less zingy and more warm. I love them!

These really tamed things on my new Eastman E20 OO. The high end zing of coated bronze strings and woofy bass notes. These are just more laid back and more fundamental, for a nice vintage sound. I play fingerstyle, rags, blues, folk, that kind of think and they are great for that. I still see a place for standard 80/20 and PB strings on my dread - for strummed recording parts etc but happy with these on my small fingerstyle guitar. People say they sound terrible at first, they settle in yeah but sounded okay off the bat for me. Also people say they work best with mahogany but mine is rosewood. I actually think they make a lot of sound on rosewood as they tame some of the harmonic information which I sometimes hear as high end ‘zing’ which hurts my ears a bit. My guitar is Adi/rosewood and these work great. These are 11’s. Will get the guitar set up for a lower action then move back to 12’s.

These monel wrapped strings have a reduced pick attack sound which produces a much smoother rounded tone compared to phosopher bronze - they are ideal for blues or swing where you play lead or syncopated rhythms as opposed to strumming big open chords. I would recommend 12 or 13 gauge if you are micing up, 11 or 10 are fine for electro-acoustics with a pre-amp.

Been using these a few years good quality durable and sound good.

These strings are perfect if you want a pure, vintage sound free of high, zingy harmonics.

Im almost a professional musician (just started taking my practices and personal rehearsals as seriously as i take my writing and performing) but before that i was really caught up in G.A.S. (gear aquisition syndrome). I bought a bunch of strings from different brands to see what I liked, i noted the dates of when i restrung my guitar, what it sounded and felt like, when a string would snap or start to rust etc etc. I personally hate the brightness of phosphor bronze strings so if youre one of those guitarists this isnt for you, but be curious and try em out anyway, worst case youll be sure you dont like this best case youll discover something new. I found i loved the feel, sound and playability of nylon strings on a classical guitar, old/worn in strings, silk and steel strings and electric guitar strings. Thats what these strings give me. A warm, balanced, worn in, soft feeling. There is brightness dont get me wrong but its not twangy, its light if that makes sense. Also being from Mumbai (coastal area) rusting is a forever issue. These dont deteriorate as fast as Elixrs. I should also state that i also take good care for my instrument, i get it serviced once or twice a year (before or after the monsoons to takle any fungus or other issues caused due to excessive humidity), from a luthier (not a music store guitar serviceman, sure not all guitar service men suck but I cant afford a mistake, being a musician is an expensive affair), I keep my guitar in its case 85% of the time when it isnt being used (im not a perfect human), I restring my guitar (when i can afford it) and these things add to the durability and longevity of the strings. I also know these guys are expensive so i have a pair of Daddario silk and steel's OR gypsy jazz guitar strings on standby if anything snaps and so far i havent had to use them. I might have to buy a second pair of Daddario's becuase its been more than 2 years that theyve been my backup pair of strings which is proof of the fact that Ive been a loyal consumer of these monel strings for more than 2 years.

...sie auf das richtige Instrument aufgezogen werden. Auf meiner Martin OM21 klingen sie furchtbar, sie "zerstören" den Klang des Instruments. Auf meiner Martin 015M klingen sie fantastisch, die besten Saiten die ich bisher auf der Gitarre hatte. Mein Fazit: Super Saiten für Mahagoni Gitarren, eine Katastrophe für Fichte/Palisander. 5 Sterne von mir, denn sie haben die richtige Anwendung gefunden!

These strings wicked for a noticeable tone You will definitely notice a difference

Le G aiguë (0.23) a pété malgré toute ma prudence et précaution. Le pire, c'est que j'ai remplacé cette corde par une d'un jeu Martin authentic tirant 10 (MA-500) Et malgré toute ma précaution redoublée, elle a aussi pété ! Finalement, j'ai remplacé la fameuse corde par une de tirant 12 et ça va. Bref, mauvaise expérience malgré le son magnifique des cordes !

Good stings
