D'Addario Prelude strings are convincing even the most conservative string teachers and players that all student strings are not created equal. Preludes are precision crafted with a solid high-carbon steel core and polished, pure nickel windings. While this composition is similar to other quality student strings, the difference is the damping fluid that D'Addario inserts between the windings. The fluid reduces unwanted overtones, creating the kind of warm, rich sound you never though you could get from steel. Yet, students still get the full response with minimal effort - traditionally a virtue of solid core strings - as well as their longevity and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity.
