"As long as I can remember I always preferred D'Addario strings. I love the warmth and depth of their sonority, as well as the consistency of their precise intonation. I remain convinced of their brilliant performance — even over a long period of time of intense use."
Thomas Müller-Pering
"In striving for best results, one needs to choose the most appropriate tension, to find a perfect balance between the instrument, response of the strings, action, and playability."
