How Low Can You Go?

Since 1989, DR has been committed to crafting hand made, superb-quality instrument strings. By blending the best of old-fashioned handmade craftsmanship with cutting edge materials or string coatings, DR continues to push the boundaries of the string-making process. That commitment to quality is what has brought countless top-flight bassists and guitarists to string-up with DRs - from U2's Adam Clayton to Phish's Trey Anastasio and everywhere outside and in between. For reliable tone - acoustic or electric - you can rely on the handcrafted strings from DR.

DR's DDT strings let you go as low as you want to go - and they stay in tune beautifully! Even if you change tunings, the DDT strings just lock in and stay where you put them!

DR DDT strings, all tight and defined.

My rating is a nice 3 out of 5.
DR Strings offers us a set calibrated for down-tuning with these DDT.
The overall quality of the strings is good, strings are fresh, they smell good and feel ... read more [+]great under the fingers.

-> Although, you can sometimes receive sets that are a bit corroded or damaged. This is due to the methods of production: these strings are handmade ! This being said, I've had 1 bad set since I started using these (1 out of almost 80 sets). <-

Gauge is 11-54, I used to tune my six string guitar to Drop C with this set. It was great, super tight and focused sounding even with loooads of gain. Though, it felt a bit stiff to my taste, I now tune to Drop B.

Within the D'addario EXL, GHS Boomers, Ernie Ball Power Slinkys, Dunlop Heavy Cores and Dean Markley Nickelplated, these strings have a stiffness that is between EXLs and Power Slinkys. They are not as hard as Dunlop Heavy Cores but their tonal characteristics are quite unique: somehow feels a bit like an Ernie Ball Cobalt set without the super-floppiness and boosted output of it.

I recommend these strings to anyone struggling to find a guitar strings set to down-tune guitars without going for monstrous 13-64s and without sacrificing tonal characteristics. Important to mention: these strings wear off quickly and they lose their brilliant sound after 2/3 weeks. They last 1 month or plus for me, I use Dunlop String Cleaner and GHS Fastfret. close [-]
