"Black Diamond strings are truly amazing high quality strings. The variety of products and the excellent customer service is the reason why Black Diamond strings has been my choice for over a decade." James Stall
"Until now, I thought the strings I used were the best strings ever made but quite honestly Core-Bond strings are even better. They still felt like new and had no discernible loss of tone. I seriously rank them at 10+ and when they become available they will be my string of choice for sure! Whoever designed these strings is a GOD!" Mark Knapp. The fun stories never stop!
WHAT IS TONE LOSS
Tone loss is when the wrap and core coupling is compromised, either through mechanical degradation, from the vibration of the string or galvanic corrosion, due to the dissimilar metals used in the manufacturing process. Core-Bond ™️ addresses this issue by effectively "locking" the relationship of the core and wrap wire as one.
WHAT CAUSES TONE LOSS - The buildup of dirt, skin cells, and acidic content in your hands, get down between the windings and effectively dampen string tone, as well as, starts the corrosion process of the core wire. The string isn't mechanically dead, however, the tone is compromised, until the strings are cleaned, which can be a difficult process to complete.
HOW TO INCREASE TONE LONGEVITY - Some string companies coat the wrap wire or sometimes coat the whole string, to address this issue. However, a string with an outside coating, may also dampen the true tone of the string, as well as eventually fray off from normal playing.
REVOLUTIONARY NEW STRING DESIGN CORE-BOND ™️ Technology increases strength, eliminates wrap wire slippage, increases tuning stability and protects against premature loss of your tone. From the inside out with no outside coatings. Learn more.

"One of the many things great about the strings is how long they last, I don’t have to change them every other week. They last for months and even years! The banjo strings proved, and with my guitar I kept the same strings on there for 7 months. That’s the big thing I tell people about Black Diamond is that they have the best Tone for any instrument and they last a very long time. No breaking after one show or dull tone." Brayden Williamson
