Frequently asked questions
- Why choose extra hard tension?
- For firmness under the fingers and projection, the two points D'Addario makes for this set. In return, the fretting hand works harder.
- How different are hard and extra hard?
- Not very: 89.8 lb for the XTC44 against 87.4 lb for the XTC46. The gap is spread over five strings; the A stays at 16.1 lb in both sets.
- How long do these strings last?
- D'Addario presents XT as its longest-lasting classical strings, without putting a number on it.
