Spectrum Strings on Koa 12 string.

[Hank]

Put a set of Sepectrum Bronze w/ silk wrap .010-.o50 on the Taylor Koa 12 yesterday. Tuned down D to D.

I think Elixers were on before.

The Spectrums are very clear with less overtones…….slightly less sustain but better note separation .

NO buzzing in D to D tuning……….much louder in standard 440 than previous strings.

Barre chords are same feel……maybe slightly more finger pressure needed for “clean” notes with the Spectrums.

BY the WAY…..restringing a 12 string is WORK. The Spectrums are supposed to be the longest lasting/playing available…..I hope so…..Spectrums are made in Austria and are not inexpensive.

Wonder if SCGC will produce a 12 string set…..I would try those.

All in all I like them.

I’m gonna need new strings on the 12 sooner than later – I’ll see how you feel about these in a month or so –

Richard said baritone strings and a 12 string set were on the drawing board, but I’m sure he has his hands full getting the shop back up to whatever will be considered “normal” –
