Daddario NYS014 Single String

As a player of a guitar-like instrument with unique specifications, I needed to create my own string sets, and I chose to build mine entirely from D'Addario NYXL strings. Initially, the sound was a bit too metallic for my taste-bright and sharp, almost edgy. However, after some playing time, the tone mellowed nicely, becoming smoother without losing that essential brightness. It never turned dull, which is a rare and welcome balance.

Tuning stability has been excellent; I haven’t experienced any tuning issues despite daily use. Additionally, after a maximum of 6 months of consistent playing, there are no signs of corrosion or significant wear apart from loss in elasticity (which is to be expected) and most importantly no breaks; which speaks volumes about the durability and quality of these strings.

Overall, the NYXLs offer a fantastic combination of bright, clear tone, durability, and tuning reliability.

NYXL sollen angeblich unempfindlicher und stabiler sein. Das macht sein. Beim bending und auch harten Anschlag passiert nicht. Die Saiten halten. Häufiges Umstimmen in Open Tuning führt jedoch zu einer Belastung, der auch diese Saiten nicht standhalten. Häufig betroffen die e-Saite und die h(bzw. b)-Saite
Frage also, was tun.... Jedes Mal einen neuen Satz aufziehen?
Nur die defekte Saite aus dem kompletten Satz nehmen?
Die Original NYXL zum Tausch der einen Saiten verwenden oder günstige Ersatzseiten (z.B.
Harley Benton Valuestrings 011 E-Guitar Set für 1,49 Euro kompletter Satz)
Ich hatte mich zunächst für die letze Variante entschieden. Schließlich kostet der komplette Harley Benton Satz weniger als eine Daddario NYS014 Single String. Das Sound und Spielgefühl ist jedoch erheblich anders. Es fühlt sich fremd an, es klingt anders. Das ist sogar unserm Bassisten aufgefallen, der gar nicht wusste, dass ich die e-Saite durch eine günstige Harley Benton Saite ausgetauscht hatte.

Fazit:
Wer Probleme mit dem reißen der einzelnen Saite aus dem NYXL Satz hat, der sollte tunlichst auf diese Einzelsaite zurückgreifen
