D'Addario 16-56 Resophonic Phosphor

D'Addario 16-56 Resophonic Phosphor is a set of guitar strings designed specifically for use with resonator or resophonic guitars. The set includes six strings, with gauges of .016, .018, .028, .035, .045, and .056 inches in diameter, respectively. These gauges correspond to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth strings on a standard resonator guitar.

The strings are made with D'Addario's Phosphor Bronze material, which is a combination of copper and a small amount of phosphor wrapped around a high-carbon NY steel core. This combination of materials provides a warm and balanced tone that is well-suited for resonator guitars.

The medium gauge of these strings provides a balanced and comfortable playing experience, with a slightly higher tension than lighter gauges, allowing for a fuller sound and better projection. The strings also feature D'Addario's corrosion-resistant packaging, which helps to extend the life of the strings by protecting them from moisture and other environmental factors.

Overall, the D'Addario 16-56 Resophonic Phosphor is a popular choice for resonator guitar players who want a warm and balanced tone, as well as a comfortable playing experience. The use of Phosphor Bronze material provides a classic and traditional acoustic guitar sound that is well-suited for a variety of musical genres, including blues, country, and bluegrass.
