2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Product Introduction It is extremely rare for musicians and mathematics to be closely related, but this new series has made it possible.The Balanced Tension XL series is D'Addario's solution to the problems of traditional set strings.The standard string gauges that have been used for many years were determined after decades of trial and error, with almost no logical basis behind them.As a result, the tension of these sets of strings varied greatly, and the strings felt different, such as being ``tighter'' or ``looser.''This variation in tension, consciously or unconsciously, affected the player's playing technique.For decades, D'Addario has listed the tension of each string on its packaging.We also created a ``Tension Guide'' over 10 years ago to provide information on string tension.This guidebook continues to be used today to answer questions from users interested in string tension and the technical aspects of the product.As a result of this guide, D'Addario received hundreds of inquiries via email, social media, and online product forums asking if something could be done to address this uneven tension.In response to this, D'Addario's engineering team combined music and mathematics to create the ultimate solution, the Balanced Tension XL Series.From Amazon ABOUT D'Addario D'Addario's first factory was located in Lynbrook, New York and started with just five people.Thanks to an aggressive sales strategy, D’Addario products quickly became popular and the company hired more factory staff to manufacture them.He then acquired Kaplan Music String Company, a long-established manufacturer of classical stringed instruments, and began introducing the Fretted Line, which became a success.In 1984, in order to respond to increasing demand, we relocated our factory, added 150 new employees, and began expanding our production facility.Starting with this relocation, D'Addario's position became solid as it expanded its production base over the next 10 years.One of the secrets to D’Addario’s growth is the philosophy of “as much in IN HOUSE as possible.”The company introduced a Heidelberg printing press and a huge number of other printing machines, and even carried out in-house printing operations that had previously been outsourced.In addition, marketing and package design are handled by in-house staff, which not only reduces costs, but also accurately captures market trends and customer needs, resulting in numerous successful sales campaigns.The most important factor in D'Addario's growth is its network of distributors around the world.In addition to many U.S. retailers, D’Addario products are distributed worldwide through distributors around the world.“D’Addario” is a well-known string instrument that boasts overwhelming support from musicians around the world.Unique bright sound and wonderful intonation.D'Addario strings use state-of-the-art computer control to achieve extremely high quality that maintains accurate pitch and tone.The strings are sealed with D'Addario's unique special polymer bag that blocks out light and air that can cause string deterioration, so they will not deteriorate for a long time.“Balanced Tension XL”, a product created from user feedback It is extremely rare for musicians and mathematics to be closely related, but this Balanced Tension XL series has made it
