The Korena take
This Light Top/Medium Bottom 12–56 XS Acoustic Phosphor Bronze set combines high-carbon NY Steel cores with an ultrathin polymer coating on the wound strings and polymer-treated plain steels. The coating protects the phosphor bronze winding from corrosion and buildup and is rated for 200 hours of playing time. Its warm, balanced sound retains clear, ringing highs, while Fusion Twist wrap wire is designed for a smooth feel and consistent tone and intonation along the neck.
