Why do Kinmans make strings last longer?
There are two reason for this. 1) Kinman’s are so dynamic and sensitive that you don’t have to punish your strings in order to get the guitar to respond to your playing, so string breaking is less prevalent and they just last longer anyway. 2) Kinman’s are so sensitive to tone and detail that even an old string will be sensed (or read) quite satisfactorily. Kinmans are a unique investment worthy of your outlay because they will eventually pay for themselves.
