What do you think of Wyres?
A lovely sample of "DeeDee's Song", with Elliott on his acoustic Martin D-28 with Wyres Phosphur Bronze strings.
"The strings have brought my old Martin back to life and it sounds absolutely fantastic !
These custom-wound babies are without doubt some of the finest strings I've played. The tone is superb; the longevity is pretty astounding. Well done, Wyres!
