Wyres Strings
specializes in making our own handmade musical instrument strings, coated or
uncoated, for the purist. Strings that don’t suffer from the ‘metal
fatigue’ that’s caused by the bending, flexing and over-stretching of
totally machined strings. Such strings are prone to lose their tone and
break more quickly. Our highly skilled craftspeople handwrap the core-wire,
resulting in a looser wound, lighter tensioned, softer playing string, with
less stress on the player and instrument. The player finds the strings
easier on the fingers when bending and playing. The instrument ‘breathes’
and resonates more freely with longer sustain. Handmade Wyres have truer
intonation and stay in tune longer. Wyres aren’t mass-produced, taking
longer and costing more to make, but resulting in a superior sounding and
playing string.
Our optional
P.T.F.E.
(polymer tetra-fluoro-ethylene) coating is a proprietary process
of combining a dry inert plastic with a carrying agent of rubbing alcohol.
This lighter coating doesn’t dampen frequencies and is applied over the
finished string, allowing more wire to wire contact for more brilliance. P.T.F.E. lubricates the string, protecting it against oils, acids and
oxidation, resulting in less fret wear, less chording noise, longer life and
a smooth, silky touch.
