A similar martin SP set had a 23 gauge G string and sounded terrible . these Dunlops dont even sound like 11's , They sound like 12's but are very well balanced and very easy to play . Less Tension makes them Vibrate Slower and move the soundboard MORE than 12's - in my opinion . These are the ONLY Strings I'll use now and are not expensive. youtube has a vid of their ultra modern string factory . I am quite impressed. Best kept string secret these days, are inexpensive. They have a great product .
Well, I might as well dive in with my first post. It's interesting you mentioned this because after years of using D'Addario 12's on all my acoustics, I tried the Dunlop 11-52's at a friend's recommendation. All I can say is wow! I noticed no volume loss, and I like the tone and feel better than the D'Addarios. Great strings, IMO.
