About Wyres Strings

Wyres Strings specializes in making their own handmade musical instrument strings, coated or uncoated, for the purist. Strings that don’t suffer from the ‘metal fatigue’ that’s caused by the bending, flexing and over-stretching of totally machined strings. Such strings are prone to lose their tone and break more quickly.

Their highly skilled craftspeople handwrap the core-wire, resulting in a looser wound, lighter tensioned, softer playing string, with less stress on the player and instrument. The player finds the strings easier on the fingers when bending and playing. The instrument ‘breathes’ and resonates more freely with longer sustain. Handmade Wyres have truer intonation and stay in tune longer.

Wyres aren’t mass-produced, taking longer and costing more to make, but resulting in a superior sounding and playing string.
