The acoustic grain of phosphor bronze, lasting longer
Designed for guitarists who want to maintain a rich and detailed tone over hours of playing, the Elixir 16077 combine the Phosphor Bronze alloy with a very thin layer of NANOWEB coating. The result: precise attack, warm mids, and present highs, with a natural playing feel. The 12-56 Light/Medium gauge suits both dynamic strumming and picking, providing body in the low end while maintaining good playability.

These strings have a fairly high lifespan.
I changed the same set of strings after over a year of regular use:
the appearance of the strings was still good (no wear).
Of course, I gained brilliance, definition, and power.
I don't know the manufacturing process but my new strings stabilized in a few hours. For comparison, it takes a few days of break-in for new nylon strings to be playable on my classical guitar (Savarez).
The pull is slightly too strong but it's a matter of personal taste.Automatically translated

As someone who is not a big fan of Elixir strings, I admit that I am very satisfied. The sound is well balanced with good sustain, nice harmonics and good projection. In short, quality, not to mention the very long life of its strings.
The medium/light tie rod is a bit hard to play but there is no bass picture. Very good strings!!!Automatically translated
