Elixir
Elixir was born in 1995. After a long research on the guitar strings, Elixir produced the first official prototypes, which were submitted to 5000 musicians to hear the opinions, giving rise to the first strings with a special coating.
Since then the coatings have been enhanced and today Elixir manufactures various combinations of original POLYWEB® and NANOWEB® coating yarns ultra-thin for acoustic and electric guitar, bass, mandolin and banjo. Each produces a different sound, but all the strings produced are variations of the same basic idea: a microscopically thin, advanced polymer tube that wraps around the rope to protect it from corrosion and dirt, without any contact with the critical area between the windings.
