The difference has to do with the ratio of copper to
zinc in the wrap wire of the Bronze and Brass
strings, and with the formula for the PhosBronze and
Blue Steel Acoustic Strings. For instance, VintageBronze strings have a ratio of 85% copper to
15% zinc, while Formula82/R strings have a ratio of
80% copper to 20% zinc. Phosphor bronze strings, on
the other hand, such as our Blue Steel acoustic
strings and PhosBronze acoustics, have a ratio of
92% copper to 8% tin. The sound differences can be
drastic or subtle, depending on how the finished
strings are designed and wound. And what type of
guitar the strings are on—different guitars respond
differently to different alloys. It is a good idea
to first pick your gauge, then try each of the
alloys until you find the one that works perfectly
for you.
