RECOMMENDATION: Strings for archtops, flat tops, parlor guitars

Our recommendation! We fit these strings on all Jazz/Archtop, Western/Flat Top and Blues/Parlor guitars that we restore or overhaul! Don't be confused by the term Western/Folk - these strings also get the best sound out of archtops and parlors.

The special feature of this product is the round core wire of the wound strings. Conventional strings have hexagonal core wires, which simplify production and reduce manufacturing costs. Round core wires, on the other hand, must be wrapped with extreme care to ensure even pressure on the bronze wire. In this process, the wrapped wire lies much flatter than with hexagonal core wires. The result is a better vibration behaviour, which leads to a very long sustain of the string and to an even tone development.

Pyramid has been making these strings in the old craftsman's tradition, almost unchanged, for over 60 years. Our high-end offer for vintage guitars!

Note: Wrapped Round Core strings must not simply be shortened, as the wrapping would immediately come loose and the string would become unusable. Therefore, first make a sharp, right-angled bend in the string and then shorten it behind the bend.
Like all Pyramid strings, these are hand wound by highly specialised string makers and each one is checked again by hand before packing.
