Great strings at good price
Without doubt, Marquis are the best acoustic strings produced. Both the 80/20 Copper Bronze and the Silk on Steel give vibrant, bright and long lasting sound. I use them on my Guild D-50NT and Glenn Campbell Ovation.

Perfect tone, easy playing, and smooth.
I got two sets of these to replace the factory strings on two new guitars (a black Vangoa acoustic electric, and a Hesper dreadnought), and they're perfect. They did leave some oxidation residue on my fingers after stretching them out, but they're clean, bright, snappy, and easy on the fingers. There's also very little string squeak on these. I like the silk-wrapped ball ends for preventing wear on my new bridge holes, and they're staying in tune very well. These are a great value, and the quality is outstanding.

Best strings for an acoustic guitar that there are!
For years I have used these Silk And Steel guitar strings. They sound fantastic on any acoustic guitar. They have a cleanness and brightness to their sound that others acoustic strings simply lack. I also use an amplified acoustic, and these strings never let me down. Even on recordings, they are second to none. Whether you play a $10,000 Martin or a $100.00 Indiana guitar, these strings sound amazing! And I am a recording artist!

Check Your Strings!
I put these on my guitar (Taylor) and it seemed the 3rd (G) was "off". Sure enough, when I tuned everything up, it broke and I compared it with the same gauge (.023)from another guitar and the Martin string was a thicker string. I added a 3rd string from another guitar so I could play and these strings do have a nice sound and, even better, are very easy on the fingers. This former folkie appreciates not having to struggle to make cords having long lost my callouses. I received an entire set of replacements, which I really didn't want, and saw immediately that the replacement set had the correct 3rd string. So. Word to the wise. If you are able, check the strings before putting them on, to be sure they are the size, gauge, and type you ordered before going through that whole tedious installing process.

Hold tune well. Very little drift from mount to about 4 weeks
This 40+ yr old Ovation Balladeer acoustic guitar says, "Thank you, finally, for some great strings." (face-palm, I had no idea) Nice bright tone for couple weeks then transit slowlike to comfortably mellow. Tuning is very stable up & down. (Pssst, for one who frets with left hand, thin string goes on bottom.)

Quinta cuerda con sonido apagado
Calidad - precio razonable. La quinta cuerda sonaba apagada y tuve que poner otra de otro juego. Una vez resuelto este inconveniente, el sonido es aceptable. Le doy un voto de confianza, aunque no creo que repita este modelo. Probaré uno superior.

Sin palabras!
Compre esta marca por primera vez, pero al instalar la primera cuerda al primer giro se rompió,, tuve que aplicar la garantía a Amazon y me regresaron el dinero y compré otras de otra marca. Aún así le podría dar otra oportunidad a esta marca pero otro modelo de cuerdas en un futuro.
