Overview
Not a standard bronze set, Ernie Ball's Earthwood Bell Bronze draws on alloys used traditionally for bells and cymbals. John Mayer helped develop these strings to a demanding standard as a new voice for an acoustic guitar.
The alloy is described as giving a richer, fuller sound, with a sound profile of rich, full, big and bold. A medium light gauge suits players who want volume without the heaviest feel. The limitation is a listing that omits pack count, coating and core details.
Who it's for
Acoustic players who like a full, rich voice and the John Mayer connection. Those who want a coated set, or a lighter feel for easy bending, should look at other strings.

Performance notes
Bell bronze is the alloy behind the full, bold tone, drawing on materials used in bells and cymbals. The medium light gauge balances volume against fretting effort. Core wire and winding details are not supplied.
