the sound of barnet

The sound of your acoustic guitar is influenced by few elements as directly as the strings you use. After all, the sound of the guitar starts right here: With the strike of the guitar string.

For a consistently clear sound and high durability, the bass strings of an acoustic guitar are made of polyamide 6.6 multifilament yarn wrapped with non-ferrous metal, like copper or brass.

Two factors are especially important here: elongation and permanently consistent performance under every temperature condition. Since the guitar is tuned to a certain tone, they should hold that tone to avoid a guitar that is constantly out of tune. In this respect, the material quality is of particular importance as well as the diameter and strength.

Barnet supplies Polyamide 6.6 in consistently high quality to manufacturers of professional guitar strings worldwide.
