    # How long have you use it?
    About 4 years, at a rate of 6 games per year.

    # What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    Plus:
    - Pulling, D'Addario was one of the first to offer this drawing
    - Sustainability: 1:30 to 2 months due to play per day (for cons, I have hands that are more likely to be dry than moist)
    - The color system to navigate between 6 strings
    - Attractive price
    - A new game does not sound too "twang-twang" as with Ernie Ball

    The least:
    - Poorly distributed: hard to find without a purchase online.

    # Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    Yes. The Ernie Ball (yuck, never understood the popularity of this brand), DR (blah, did …

    # Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    Yes. The Ernie Ball (yuck, never understood the popularity of this brand), DR (blah, did not leave me a great memory and super expensive), the Rotosound.

    # How would you rate the quality / price?
    Pretty good. I'm two months with a game, it's mostly non-threaded strings that oxidize quickly.

    # With experience, you do again this choice?
    Yes.
    Note that the price has dropped slightly in recent years. It went from € 6 20-5 € 90.

    I tried several games on different guitars to judge better.
    Advantages: Cheap, strong long-term strings, sounds OK.

    Disadvantage: It frieze, this lack of attack, one quickly loses the brillance.Ces strings appear well calibrated but what about the manufacture of nickel, winding etc.?

    So I will return to Dean Markley or Ernie Ball!

    The agreements are very specific, the notes are long lasting, good bass response, but there are better, the highs come out very well, so it's perfect for solos, good sound in the medium,

    The strings are tested on the Gibson Dark Fire
