80/20 Bronze wound strings are often called old-school, vintage and/or bright bronze and were the most popular (only) alloy used to make acoustic strings until the introduction of phosphor in the early Seventies. 80/20 bronze wire is made from 80 percent copper and 20 percent zinc. 80/20 bronze provides balanced highs and lows with a slight increase in mid-range that seems the make the notes cut-through a little more.

80/20 strings
5 Stars

I compared your strings against another handmade set and the Curt Mangan strings sounded more crisp and added volume to my Yairi. Some people have laughed at me when I have commented that certain guitars I have "don't like" sets of strings. But ... Some strings seem to open up a soundboard more than others, and it certainly happened with your strings.

Really kind of a great in between gauge. 12s are slightly too light and 13s too heavy. These worked out great on my 30 year old Guild dreadnaught.

CM 12.5-55 "Half Size" 80/20 Bronze Strings
5 Stars

These strings are absolutely perfect on my 1966 Martin D-18. Standard medium gauge (13-56) string sets were always just a bit too heavy, and light gauge (12-54) sets were always a little floppy. These "Half Size" strings feel just right under my fingers, and the the tone and sustain are excellent. After 53 years I've finally found the right strings!!
