DOS Wyres Strings combine the old-world skills of talented craftspeople with the latest in machine technology to produce a superbly handcrafted, premium instrument string.

DOS Wyres strings don’t suffer from the 'metal fatigue' that’s caused by bending, flexing and over-stretching totally machined strings. Such strings are prone to lose their tone and break more quickly.

Highly skilled craftspeople handwrap the core-wire, resulting in a looser wound, lighter tensioned, softer playing string. This means less stress on the player and the instrument so you find the strings easier on the fingers when bending and playing and your instrument ‘breathes’ and resonates more freely with longer sustain.

Handmade DOS Wyres have truer intonation and stay in tune longer.
DOS Wyres aren’t mass-produced, taking longer and costing more to make, but resulting in a superior sounding and playing string.

Our P.T.F.E. (polymer tetra-fluoro-ethylene) coating is a proprietary process of combining a dry inert plastic with a carrying agent of rubbing alcohol. This lighter coating doesn’t dampen frequencies and is applied over the finished string, allowing more wire to wire contact for more brilliance. P.T.F.E. lubricates the string, protecting it against oils, acids and oxidation, resulting in less fret wear, less chording noise, longer life and a smooth, silky touch.

The bottom line is that DOS Wyres play longer, easier and sound better, start to finish, than machined instrument strings.
