Strings for the 21 Century.

The best is now affordable with Wyres



I would like to bring to you attention a new range of beautifully crafted hand wound guitar / Oud strings for the discerning musician that requires not only the best in strings but longevity as and above all are affordable.
This is a complete string line of Hand Wound/Teflon strings.
These strings were developed By Nick Walton a world class professional classical guitarist using new technology back in 1997 and refined over the years bringing us to the present time and an exciting line beautifully crafted long last strings.



Our main competitor would be the only other Teflon coated producer, namely Gortex/ Elixir but we believe we have the edge on both of these in many areas.



Our P.T.F.E. (Teflon) coating system is different and our string making process is not automated.

A recent convert to these long lasting, hard wearing strings is Mick Box from the British Rock band Uriah Heep, Mick is heavy on strings and demanded the best, he found the best in Wyre’s
Nick Walton of Wyre strings has been in the business of refining and hand winding some of the best strings in the world so if you’re looking for a line of top quality, hard wearing strings at affordable prices then please drop him a line.
We enjoy an active and growing artist endorsement program. It's always a great pleasure for us to have contact with artists that we admire. It’s also very flattering to our egos when artists rave about our strings. We love the contact with other musicians and hope that they will build close ties with us for many years to come.

He also has a new line of beautifully crafted Piezo Guitar pickups for acoustic guitars that take only minutes to charge and will perform for several hours before they need a recharge, I’d never seen anything like it but the pick ups work and perform fantastically, I can see it revolutionizing how pick ups are installed and used and well worth looking into.
Finally Pierre Bensusan is one of the worlds most famous Acoustic Guitar players. You will see at the bottom of this page , both WYRES and Geroge Lowden's Guitars. Nick Walton makes the Pierre Bensusan Signature set shown at the bottom of the Front cover of last months Acoustic Guitar mag.

Hello
For what tuning did you calculate your oud set? For which string tension and string length?
Thank you
