A high-tech synthetic core married with renowned Thomastik-Infeld quality delivers a rich, sophisticated sound palette impossible to achieve with steel core strings. Monel Winding: Over 17 years ago Thomastik-Infeld introduced the use of Monel in string development. Monel is a natural alloy, impervious to perspiration and suited for artists with a nickel allergy. Unaffected by temperature and humidity changes, these strings live a long and powerful life. ALPHAYUE D- and G-strings in 3/4 to 1/16 are wrapped with Monel.
