Made with phosphor bronze alloy windings, they naturally have a warm tone. The NANOWEB coating is essentially invisible, but it locks out finger oils, grit, and contaminants that can collect in the spaces between the windings and rob the tone and the life of your strings. NANOWEB lets you enjoy your strings three to five times longer than ordinary strings, while retaining their natural tone and warmth. The bare strings are also treated. They receive Elixir's Anti-Rust coating to prevent junk from sticking to them, and from killing their tone prematurely.

That's why they created their amazing coatings for wound strings and their anti-rust plated, plain steel strings. Ordinary strings have a tendency to collect dirt, oils, and residues between the wraps of wound strings. They are not easily removed, in spite of our best efforts to wipe our strings down frequently, and they interfere with the free vibration of the strings, and leads to corrosion. This eventually results in loss of tone, and dull sounding strings. Elixir's coatings form a protective barrier over the outside of the wound strings, preventing the invasion of contaminants between the windings. Nothing gets past the coating, so your strings stay clean longer. In addition, the plain strings are also treated with Elixir's anti-rust plating, to keep them clean and sounding great three to five times longer than ordinary strings. Elixir POLYWEB and NANOWEB coated strings with anti-rust plated plain steel strings give you a balanced tone and response that really lasts. Even if Elixir's cost a little more than ordinary strings, they are economical in the long run, because of they outlast ordinary strings and don't have to be replaced as often. You save money by not having to replace strings as often, plus they sound and feel great an awfully long time. Elixirs are the factory installed strings on Taylor acoustic guitars, because they meet Taylor's demanding specifications for quality, sound, playing ease, and longevity.
