About Composite Strings: Although EJ45C wound strings may look a lot like normal wound strings, they have cores of stranded Zyex fiber. The Composite 3rd/G strings is mono-filament Zyex. Zyex is a high-tech, polyketone polymer fiber with increased mechanical and physical properties, and an exceptionally long endurance life. Zyex is golden to beige in color and has many applications, one of which is music strings. Because of the increased tensile strength and low elongation properties of Zyex strings, EJ45Cs tune up right away and tend to stay in tune, after an initial three to six hour break-in period. That means they are ready to play and perform almost immediately. These strings will also retain their fresh sound and brilliance far longer than ordinary strings. So, why hold back? Why not try them out and see for yourself?
D'Addario strings are made in Farmingdale, New York. These are the real thing, not counterfeits.
