What can Titanium Acoustic Guitar Strings do for instrument designers?
Steel core strings impart relatively high tensions on the bridges of acoustic guitars (ranging from 160 to 200 pounds). As a result, instruments are designed with reinforcements so that the guitar can withstand the high tension. In other words, the instruments have evolved to meet the needs of the strings! Once the guitar designers catch on, they will have a newfound freedom in design capability, particularly with RohrbacherTM low-tension sets, which are lower in tension at equivalent or greater diameters. In fact, during our initial R&D effort, we actually had to increase our design tensions to make the product “fit” current instrument designs!
