You may have noticed lately that a few model names for strings from the D’Addario brand have “BT” at the end of it, such as EXL160BT.<\/p>\n
What does BT mean? It means Balanced Tension<\/a>. In a nutshell, what this is supposed to do is provide greater control and better playing comfort. And what does that<\/em> mean? It means (again, supposedly,) that you’ll have better control over string dynamics, and on a comfort level, bends on any string should be much more consistent. For example, a bend on an A-string should feel the same as on the G-string and not be wildly different from each other as is normally the case.<\/p>\n Do BT strings really give you better control and comfort?<\/strong><\/p>\n That’s where you come in. This is something different from D’Addario, and your opinion would be greatly valued, because this is one of those times where a community opinion would matter more than just ours.<\/p>\n Do we sell Balanced Tension sets?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes<\/strong><\/a> (scroll down to “Balanced Tension Sets” on that page.) But even if you don’t buy from us specifically, we want to hear your opinion on these strings anyway. Do you personally notice any real difference between balanced tension compared to a regular set?
