A hybrid "flat wound" set for a warm, precise, and controlled sound
The Thomastik AC036 Plectrum Bronze Flat Wound is designed for acoustic guitarists seeking a balance between warmth and definition, with a particularly pleasant playing feel. The bronze flat wound strings provide a softer grain, smoother attack, and excellent chord clarity, while the brass-plated steel treble strings retain musical brightness without harshness. The silk insert on the A, D, and G strings contributes to a softer response and refined touch, highly appreciated for fingerstyle playing, acoustic jazz, polished folk, or precise accompaniment. Finally, the round wound low E (6th string) adds extra punch and projection to support the lower spectrum.
