Curt Mangan Phosphor Bronze Coated traditional light (12-53)

Phosphor bronze wound strings were developed in the early 1970s and have long become the most popular acoustic strings. Phosphor bronze wire is made up of around 92% copper, 7% zinc and 1% phosphorus. It took several years of experimentation to develop a custom string coating that protects against tarnishing and corrosion without affecting sound quality. Phosphor Bronze produces pleasant highs and basses with appealing overtones. The phosphorus contained serves the purpose of preventing tarnishing and corrosion.
