                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week I changed the strings on my Yamaha acoustic, gave frets and fretboard a light cleaning with steel wool, put on same gauge strings, except the new were D'addario Phosphor Bronze, the old were D'addario XL Life. Now the A string has this strange tone even though by ear or electronic tuner it is in tune. Hard to describe, not a buzz, apparent when played open or fretted, it just sounds more â€œstridentâ€ or ???<br><br>I sighted down the neck the action seems fine, no changes have been made to setup since purchase 4-5 years ago. I've changed the strings many times, never had this happen. Even removed the A string and replaced it with a spare I had, same result.  Only thing I can think of is the new strings were about a year old, but they had been kept in factory sealed bags under normal conditions.  Any ideas before I take it to the shop?]]></content:encoded>
