I play about 3 hours per day and 2 to 3 shows per month and I usually go for D'addario which have really nice sound and feel, and continue to do so for weeks. These Pyramid strings were said to be of superior quality, but even though I thought they were quite good at first, after a couple of weeks the sound became murky and undefined, and quite honestly the strings decayed after only one month. This happened to my first set, I decided to try with a second and the experience was quite the same.. So, no, I wouldn?t recomend them again
