2 years ago@freagle Thanks for all that info. I hadn’t really thought much about it. The EPA pages have a lot of info.
So you’re disappointed that your favorite guitar strings are made with a coating that likely has bad health and environmental effects?
@freagle Fair enough. I used elixir strings when I was in high school. Eventually I decided paying double for a special coating was not worth it. Sounds like now in hind-sight that was a good decision.
