What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about material: its details call the string material stainless steel, while the title and other product information specify phosphor bronze for the wound strings. Confirm the intended construction before purchase. The stated gauges list .015/.015 without a leading zero on the first value, preserved as supplied.
