Default Second Cup of Coffee {original, with Wyres strings}

I changed out the strings on my Avalon last night to the DADGAD strings made by Wyres for Pierre Bensusan. I like the way they feel and they sound good. None of that brash new string sound.

Guitar:Avalon

Tuning: DADGAD, capo 2

Stuff: Wyress DADGAD strings 13 17 22 32 42 56

DAW: Audacity. Processing and cleanup using Adobe and Izotope RX 7 Elements

Nice piece!
I tested several brands for the game in DADGAD and for me the best are the Newtone Heritage Series in 13/55

Thanks Remy.

I've never tried them. I'll look into those. I have a couple of sets of GHS and D'Addario true mediums in my inventory though.

The wyres are good but a little expensive for what it is, in my opinion
At Newtones Heritage Series lough tension ,you have the game 13/55 and the game DADGAD that I find a little too flexible
