David V. Locker October 22, 2009 at 2:19 am: The Nanoweb strings do stay clean and they stand up but, on the negative side…

I replaced one string in my set with a nanoweb and noticed right away the feel was slippery. When picking my fingers would slip on the nano string rather than pluck. I will stick to cleaning my good old standard strings.

E. Ongerth October 22, 2009 at 3:18 am: These strings are amazing. It was hard to believe the reviews, but the idea behind the construction makes sense. In any case, even while being skeptical about it I found these provide one of the better sounds I’ve had AND I have kept them on longer than any other string, bar none. I want to add that they actually sound better than most other strings right out of the package, because they don’t have that first two hours of being much too bright. Yet they are far from dull, just moderately bright. Perfect. And their sound stays amazingly even for dozens of hours of playing. I’ve probably had my current set on twice as long as any other string and they still haven’t gone dead or tinny. In fact one of the ways I can tell they last so long is that they are starting to look incredibly dirty and i’m thinking of replacing them just for the visual effect. No other string would ever make it to this dirty, they would have broken or just worn out their sound long before. I thought if any string was going to last this long it might be DRs or something, but I guess Elixir’s micro coating is the winning factor.

JH October 22, 2009 at 6:56 am: I’ve been using Elixir medium acoustic strings for years now and have been very happy with the sound and with how long they hold their tune.

However, I’ve recently been experiencing broken G-strings either within the same day, or 2-3 days after stringing them. The break has been consistantly occuring at the bridge.

I called Elixir and explained the problem. They are not only sending me 3 new whole sets of strings, but 3 more spare G-strings. A search on the internet suggests that sometimes you can get a bad run of strings. These things happen, but I am very impressed with how Elixir takes care of their customers!

I’d give it 5 stars, but…, well… the G-strings keep breaking. Let’s hope it IS just a bad run of strings….
