Unfortunately Italy is out for most of international instruments manufactur so many people order on web.
I have thunk to order directly from Curt Mangan , but after found string in Switzerland near Italy I prefer to buy there. Playing 2 hour a day what should be CM Monel durability ? |

Another update...
After more than a month I am convinced the Mangan Monels sound better than they did when I put them on my OM. This could be due to a number of factors (my ear included) but is consistent with what a few others have noted before. Once these are ready to come off I have a few other sets I have been waiting to try, but I like these enough to order extras now. |

Well, thanks for your time making this nice comparative montage.
I once compared Monel with D'Addario EJ when I briefly owned a The Loar LH-700 Vs archtop, but I never thought to compare with Elixir nano. I now have Monel on a Martin OODB and like them, but I did not try any other strings on it so far.

Excellent comparison. I strung my Collings 001 with some Martin Retros (lights) and a week later I am super super stoked. Dials back the overtones a bit and it’s slightly more compressed as well.

I can't think of two more opposite strings sonically! They don't sound anything alike. Nice playing! Always loved Ian Anderson's style on Wondering Aloud which was a song about his young daughter from the early days 50 years ago.......yikes! In fact I had an Ian Anderson model from Martin on loan for a few days. A haunting guitar I've looked for for decades. You could use nylon strings or steel. He used 0 and 00 Martins.
