>From what I gather the tensile strength of the stainless Pure-Sound wire is lower than carbon. So if you have a carbon string at say 60% of it breaking tension the same string in stainless would be at a higher break point percent. So I gather that scaling is a big consideration... I.E. low tension scales only for this stuff! Does the manufacturer supply tech support and info? I've heard glowing reports of the tone with the stainless wire but also many reports of string breakage...
