The new clear-coated strings are designed to have less unwanted overtones, more volume, and greater articulation than standard uncoated strings. DR Strings says they named the new strings Dragon-Skin, "because their effect on performance seems magical."
The sets feature K3 coating on all six strings and come in the following gauges: DSA-11 (11-50), DSA-12 (12-54), and DSA-13 (13-56).
