Alphayue - means "first contact with music". To make this contact as effortless as possible, the strings in this series have a nylon core (E string tin-plated steel), making them easier to play. The special thing is that they are still in the same affordable price range as steel strings. The easy response, effortless modulation and last but not least this fair price make Alphayue the perfect series for beginners. Another special feature is the use of Monel for the D and G strings. Monel is an alloy of nickel and copper (about 65% nickel, 33% copper and 2% iron) and is characterised by high tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Alphayue series strings are available in all standard sizes from 4/4 to 1/16 in medium tension.
