Just changed a few strings on my Guild D55 and note that ,although fresh out of a Martin packet, they are clearly stained and do not sound zingy new
Wasn't aware strings in a packet seemingly go off.
Bought from Stringbusters |  |

Happened to me a few years ago with stings for my (cheap) acoustic. New out of the pack but badly tarnished | | | |

If they were stored someplace damp and cold then like all metal it will corrode. Same thing happened to me a while ago as i bought a few packs from a closing down sale. |  |

Thanks John
Surprising though but even an innocent thread gets turned | |

Many string manufacturers make a big thing about the string being packaged in an airtight pack.
As to the expensive guitar I'm sure that my good friend Richard will confirm that the fingers are more important than the guitar.... |  |

And fingers snap brittle strings
It's not a fookn Taylor mun
It does, for me, out gun a D28
Cheaper than Martin by far . Great value and ok for Richie Havens and Paul Simon | |

Richie "Strummer" Havens? Hardly an endorsement...
Anyway, Elixir coated strings are what you need. Martin make great guitars but shîte strings. |  | | |

D'Arrario and GHS are good. I wouldn't put lighter than 10s on an acoustic.
Try Youtube for your mandolin problem. | | | |
