The D'Addario Tone Lives on in Every String

XS is breathing new life into coated strings.

With its ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS offers the highest level of protection for maximum life with an uncommonly smooth feel. XS is the most innovative string ever created.

Ultra-Thin Coating

A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the string windings to be completely protected from contaminants for maximum tone and lasting life.

NY Steel

NY Steel is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, NY.

Through advanced machinery and processes, our premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.

Hex Core Construction

Precision drawn hexagonal core was pioneered by D'Addario.

This innovation allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability and a precise intonation.

String Winding Technology

String winding equipment is designed and built by D'Addario's engineering team, guaranteeing a production range of 500,000 to 700,000 string per day.

Digitally-controlled string winding ensure productivity, accuracy and consistency.

Wire Drawing

D'Addario's in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to our exact specifications.

Control over materials, equipment, and quality allows us to deliver high performance products.

Fusion Twist Feature

The fusion twist feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string.

This ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for our premium plain nickel strings.
