Overview
A guitar shop, school music room or touring band with many acoustics is the natural home for this twelve-set bulk pack. Each set winds bronze alloy over a hex-shaped, tin-plated steel core, with tempered tin-plated steel plain strings.
Crisp, ringing sound with pleasing overtones and balanced projection are the reason to choose the alloy, and bulk packing covers many restrings in one order. Element Shield packaging is claimed to preserve freshness. The listing says coated without detail.
Who it's for
Repair benches, music classrooms and touring musicians who go through many sets. Anyone with one guitar will find the quantity excessive.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
The hex-shaped core grips the bronze wrap, which holds the winding in place and shapes the ringing tone. The alloy supplies balanced projection with crisp highs. Sealed packaging slows corrosion before the set is opened.
