In this box, each string is in individual paper packaging. In total in the overall packing of 18 strings, without grouping of 6 strings. 3 strings in a winding (and accordingly with a covering), 3 strings without a winding.
The first sensations when playing them - is this exactly Elixir? This is a step forward! Strings are felt like metal, there is only a slight feeling that they are stroked. But maybe it's just because you know it's an Elixir :)
They are adjusted quickly, the tuning is kept perfectly. They sound bright, I did not hear the difference with Daddario EXL, I did not listen in detail, pulled Elixirs on Gibson SGJ 2014 and was satisfied.
How long will these strings last, so far I can not say, yet it's still a novelty. If 1 package of 3 sets is enough for a year, with a constant sound quality, then I will switch to them.
