Peter Erskine, Gino Vannelli
"I have found nirvana with regard to tone, feel, and quality/consistency with my D'Addario strings. I know that every time I change my strings, my instrument will feel like home and the strings will last. I've tried them all and always came back to D'Addario, which is why I've been using D'Addario strings exclusively for close to 12 years now."

"NYXL strings have a three-dimensional sound that blows me away. There's a punch, as well as warmth to the sound that is unique to these strings."
