I've bought Elixir strings for as long as I can remember and can't fault them...so why did I buy Martin strings? Well, I'd bought a Martin guitar and so thought I'd match it up with these strings as they were highly recommended. I'm not a big fan of new strings...much prefer them when they've been on a few weeks and lost that bright zingy sound. These didn't really suffer too much from that and whilst they sounded new and bright they had a rich depth from the off. I've had them on now for around 3 months and they still sound excellent and stay in tune despite some bending and changing tunings several times. They are certainly as good as Elixr strings whether they ;last as long remains to be seen but so far so good...I should add, I keep strings on for a long time as I like the dull sound as they age! I would recommend trying them as theya re a good price and I'm sure you don't need a MArtin to appreciate their sound.

You don't buy these strings for long lasting brightness and durability - go to Elixir if you want invincible strings. You buy these for the tone. And these are the best sounding strings I've played. At first they're nice and bright and rich, then they age like fine wine! The more you play them, the better they sound. They get to a nice woody, vintage tone after about a month of playing. Definitely the best strings I've used, and after trying Gibson's, D'Addarios, Elixirs, I think I'll only ever use these from here on out. The only drawback was a string snapping when tuning down after about a month and a half of playing them, but I can easily look past it for the tone these bring.

I've tried a lot of different strings on my hummingbird. Didarios (all types) are always clattery and metallic. John Pearce nickels are too wooly. These are just right; a nice bit of twang and sparkly, with plenty of bass and depth. I've put them of 3 different guitars (Gibson, Taylor, Cort) and they are just by far the be best sounding strings on all of them. I almost feel obliged to buy a Martin guitar, given how good their strings are ;)

I enjoy the sound of the nickel strings. No complaints

I like these strings for all of the above reasons.I like every guitarist i have met HATE changing strings which has to be done regularly because sweaty fingers are acidic and cause corrosion which along with dirt increases mass and kills tone. The pure nickel winding on a tinned steel core do not electrically react with each other.The first set i used i changed after six weeks,only to find the new set sounded the same-i had changed them too soon. I do not like the fact that extra care must be taken when putting them on because the round steel core means the outer winding can loose tension if they are trimmed before a good amount of tension is applied to the string.The outer winding can slip and kill tone.Why martin do this i do not know,all of their other strings are wound on a hexagonal core. A good string that lasts ages and at a good price,what's not to like?

Just to try something different on my Martin 00028. I use Martin phosphor bronze light and really like the Eric Clapton ones. These sounded so dull and flat. I took them off after 1 day. Now, there is a huge debate about strings on line similar to what oil to use in a classic car or what brand of tyre on a motorcycle. It is just personal choice.

These produce such a warm & vintage sound! I love how they sound with my Martin Guitar. They produce a deep & rich sound. They’re easy on my fingers. The longevity of these strings is immaculate. Excellent playability & tuning. They’re less susceptible from breaking.

These are by far the nicest and roundest sounding strings I have ever had on my Martin. I usually use phosphor bronze varieties but these are bett in my opinion. Will defo buy again.

Martin Retro strings have a look and sound that is truly vintage. Love these strings.

2、4、5弦がミディアムより若干細ことが影響しているのかフラットピッキングがすごく弾きやすいです。

Recién puestas suenan muy metálicas, pero al cabo de un tiempo suenan bien y siguen sonando bien mucho tiempo. Son perfectas para archtops acústicas y para resonadoras. En guitarras acústicas tipo flat top me suenan poco cálidas.

Corda top

I use Martin strings on my D41. I'm liking the sound of the monels on the guitar.
