Martin Authentic Acoustic® Marquis® Silked Guitar Strings – Silk & Steel, Custom Gauge | Lower Tension, Bridge Protection & Balanced Tone

I am picking up my guitar again after many decades of not playing. I have always used Martin strings both on my acoustic and electric guitars. These strings are for my Yamaha acoustic. I initially purchased regular, bronze strings. They were hard on my tender fingers and I didn't like the sound of the ones I chose as much as I was used to experiencing with Martins. They would have been fine on an electric guitar, however. I purchased these as an alternative. They are easier on my fingers and the sound is the more subtle and mellow that I was looking for. They are thinner and may not last as long, but we will see. I left my old, worn out bronze strings on this guitar all of the years I didn't play it and, while they had lost their sound, they still tuned up without breaking. I hope Martin quality has not changed in the intervening years. My Yamaha is one of the famed older guitars they made that have become desired collectors items, so the sound made by different strings is very discernable.

Great strings. Easy on the fingers and sound great!

Nice

I’m always surprised how much I like these when I get them. I go through cycles with strings and forget how good these are. Not the sharp tone of bronze, much more mellow. Much easier on the fingers when playing. They probably aren’t for everyone but everyone should give them a try at least once. Warm, not brittle or bright.

Definitely made my tone warmer. But I put it on a parlor guitar so it still sounds tinny

Fair price, Long life, sound great

Improved the sound and sustain of my Martin mahogany acoustic. Would recommend.

Was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, so I didn't pick up the guitar for almost five years until I got some strength back. No calluses meant I needed to build them up again. These strings were recommended for me from a salesman at Guitar Center. What a great find! I can play for over an hour now with no pain. They also sound quite good on my Takamine. Best cost is at Amazon also.

fantastic they feel and sound great on my martin guitar Tried lots of strings but these are the best

Decided to try these on a Norman B20 Folk guitar and I'm very happy that I did. These are very nice strings for finger picking - they respond to a light touch very well . Very balanced - not too trebly and not to bassy. They've ben on for a couple weeks and they still sound fresh.

１２フレットジョイントのスロテッドヘッドのギターに使用しています。他のも試しましたがこの弦が私のギターには一番合っていると思います。

He cambiado unas SP calibre 012 por estas de seda y el cambio es abismal en todos los sentidos, el sonido se proyecta mucho menos y es más "pequeñito", la tensión de la cuerdas entorchadas es bajisima y tuve que aflojar el alma para que no trasteara, el sonido es más dulce pero no como dicen que esta a mitad de camino entre el nylon y el bronze, suenan a bronze con menos brillo, pero a pesar de todo tienen su encanto, tienen más medios y para dedos suenan bonitas pero dudo que repita.

Die Saiten spielen sich hervorragend ohne die Finger stark zu beanspruchen. Der Klang ist sehr angenehm und mit den Saiten schaffe ich sogar Barre-Akkorde. Ja, sie sind leiser als 12‘er Saiten, aber wenn ich unbedingt viel Volume brauche, hole ich einen Amp.
