just replaced my old steel strings on my acustic with copper plated ones .
Question - Why do copper plated ones sound more tinny
( best way to describe the sound )
Thanks in advance

lighter gage(sp?) maybe. plus copper is light.
They make copper strings??

copper plated ones yes "cyranodb"
Typing out what is written on the cover of my new string pack
"DR"
The handmade string
made in USA
"RARE" Phosphor -Bronze
RPL -10 10 14 22 30 38 48 lite
Then on the 4 Bass strings (G D A E ) The thick ones it says Copper plated
where as the the 2 high strings ( E B ) They are just plain steel ..
Anyone else use these ?

They give you two E strings? That's very cool.
I have used those in the past (before I moved from Chicago) and I liked them. I'm always trying different strings, though.
Peace
have I said it wrong ?
top string on guitar E ? Thick one
Bottom string on guitar E ? THE LITTLE SKINNY ONE
I was taught that working your way up the strings from bottom to top it went like this .

No, you didn't post it wrong. When you wrote "10" twice, I assumed that meant you got two high E strings (the thinnest one).
Not to worry! But it would be a smart move for a string company to make... :wink:
Peace
Ohhh OK David
There is no gap on the packet between the two 10's

Copper strings are the norm in Gypsy style jazz, they have a certain lack of sustain and crunchiness to the sound that is part of the style.
Didn't think they had much of a following outside that world. In fact, I've had to special order my strings from a company in Europe 'cause I can't find them locally.
