Trebles Cristal Nylon/ Yellow
Launched about the end of the 60ʼs, CRISTAL trebles strings have been perfected thanks to the improvement of the monofilament nylon production technology. Then It has become possible to manufacture monofilament fibre which geometrical characteristics provide top-of-the-range strings. The string is round, its gauge is determined during the manufacturing process and is even throughout its length.
Rectifying the monofilament in order do get a round shape and an accurate and regular gauge, is no longer needed.
The even gauge assures the rightness of the string. The predetermination of the gauge enables to set the tension of each string and to offer various tensions.
The only difference existing between the rectified strings and the CRISTAL strings is that CRISTAL strings are not rectified thus offering a flat surface, a shiny and transparent appearance. Their tone and touch are different, it is up to the guitarist to make his own choice. Cristal strings have not taken the place of the rectified strings which are still appreciated for their surface which avoids slidings and brings accuracy in addition to their very own rather rich and mellow tone.
Polished Soliste Basses
The aim of these strings is to avoid the left hand squeaks while offering a sound and a durability as closer as possible to the characteristics of a round wound string but proposed at a very fair price without making concessions to quality.
They are obtained by using a silver plated copper thread specially designed to be slightly polished after being wound on a nylon multifilament.
The light polishing avoids the overheating harmful to the string. It is called polished because of its imperfect flat surface smoothened enough to avoid the left hand squeaks.
