It may not be the best solution, but it seems to be cheaper! (And it saves me the trip, as all the shops in my neigborhood have 10s- elevens are a special trip to the big store..)

I even added that sometimes a string would pop, whip itself up & around, and land in my skin somewhere, like an arrow? i've gotten cracked in the forearm a few times, and what can you do about it? but after the first time i almost got hit in the eye, i learned to tune with my head nowhere near the range of a broken string.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-355491 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354367 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 02:17:42 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354367 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354362 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:42:22 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Crow https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354362 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354360 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 00:28:22 +0000

See the 6th or .008 G, that's my worry, and I give it an 11, because it won't last last long, at least not for me anyway. :roll:

My acoustics are light, very occasionally medium but my electrics are 10's FWIW. I have played 11's but I like to bend. :lol:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354268 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354239 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 13:12:29 +0000
I have 11's on my Washburn and never broken a string, yet.]]> Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-354239 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/heavier-strings-easy-to-break/#post-39321 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 07:16:14 +0000
I'd been playing tens for a while, and liked the more substantial feel, more sustain, more resistance to the strum...

And I'm doing some stuff tuned down right now, so I decided to try elevens. I bought 3 sets of Diadarrio elvens, and I like'em okay. Until they break.

In a month of moderate playing, I've broken three high e strings, 2 b strings, and one each of G and D. This really seems excessing. Is it normal when you use heavier strings to break them easily?
