NICK MARTIN - THE SIMON & GARFUNKEL STORY
"What I really love about DR Sunbeams is the feel. The round core makes them incredibly smooth and responsive under the fingers, and they just feel more musical to play than any other strings I’ve tried. After years of touring and trying different brands, they’re the set I always come back to. The tone is warm and balanced with a strong fundamental, and they stay consistent even through long runs of shows. For me they strike the perfect balance between feel, reliability and tone."
