The Semi-Flat Concept: the Feel of Flatwound, the Attack of Bronze
The D'Addario FT032 is part of the "flat top winding" range: a round wound string that is then precisely ground to offer a smoother outer surface, called "semi-flat." The result: you enjoy a smoother playing feel and a noticeable reduction in finger friction, while maintaining the sound response and projection of phosphor bronze.
Who Is It For, and In What Playing Contexts?
As a replacement string, the FT032 is ideal for quickly putting your guitar back into service with a more comfortable feel than a classic round wound. It is also suitable for demanding musicians who use alternative tunings or want to finely balance the tension and response of their instrument through a custom set. Its low finger noise makes it an excellent choice for mic'd recordings, studio work, and styles where clarity is paramount.
