D'ADDARIO CLASSICAL STRINGS
When you hear the word "mastery," what comes to mind?
The D'Addario family have been making strings for generations, dating back to Italy in the late 1600s. String making is not just our profession, it's our heritage.
Despite centuries of knowledge and experience woven into our strings, we still work relentlessly to find even the smallest ways to improve.
Because mastery is in the details.

LASER FOCUSED ON PRECISION.
X-Y LASER MEASUREMENT
Two-axis laser micrometers continuously monitor the polymer extrusion process, ensuring precise control of string diameter and concentricity. This process results in consistent string tension and accurate intonation.
POLISHED FOR A SMOOTH FINISH.
SEMI-POLISHED STRINGS
Semi-polished classical guitar strings feature a flattened wrap wire surface for maximum finger noise reduction, making them ideal for use with microphones on stage or in the recording studio.
WOUND FOR A BRIGHT FINISH.
LIGHTLY POLISHED STRINGS
Lightly polished strings feature wrap wire that is wound over a composite multifilament core, then polished to a bright finish. This results in a smooth playing surface with reduced finger noise.
FULLY TWISTED FOR A FULLER SOUND.
DYNACORE STRINGS
Dynacore strings utilize a proprietary multifilament core tensioning technique that results in a rich, round, and full sound with enhanced dynamic response.
EXCEPTIONALLY CONTROLLED, AMAZINGLY ACCURATE.
POLYMER EXTRUSION PROCESS
D'Addario's polymer extrusion line produces strings with exceptional control over string diameter and concentricity. These variables ensure the accurate tension and intonation of every string we make.
