About this product
Overview & specifications
Darco D500 80/20 Bronze 12-String strings are a light twelve-string set from Darco, the value string line made by C.F. Martin & Co. They are the sensible answer to a twelve-string's biggest running cost: a full set of quality bronze strings at a price that makes changing them often an easy decision. Online only special: this price is for orders placed through guitar.com.au.
Bright 80/20 bronze, light gauges
80/20 bronze wrap (80% copper, 20% zinc) is the classic bright, crisp acoustic string, and on a twelve-string it brings out that ringing, chorus-like shimmer. The D500 runs .010/.010 and .014/.014 on the unison courses, .023 with a .010 octave, .030/.012, .039/.018 and .047 with a .027 octave, for a total tension of 261.7 lb (118.7 kg) across all twelve strings. That is a light, comfortable set that keeps chords easy and the load on the neck reasonable.
Martin know-how, Darco price
Every set is wound on a tin-plated steel core, and the line comes from the same company that has been making acoustic guitars and strings for nearly two centuries. If you play a twelve-string regularly, or keep one strung up for recording, the D500 lets you put on fresh strings whenever the old ones start to fade.
