Description of La Bella 710L Silk and Steel Acoustic Guitar Strings
La Bella's Silk & Steel string sets are made with silver-plated copper wire hand wound over an Italian silk filament interlayer and a steel core. Preferred by fingerstyle guitarists for their smooth feel and sweet tone, these strings have less tension than standard steel, bronze or brass strings.
Packaged with MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) technology to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness.
Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari left the family business to seek new opportunities in America. They manufactured gut and steel strings in their small apartment in lower Manhattan. As word spread among area musicians, so did the popularity of their product. A local music store took a liking to the brothers' high-quality, handmade strings and made them an offer to help them expand. Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved to New York and quickly became known for their high quality handmade strings. The strings are produced under the brand names La Preferita, Sweetone, Criterion and New-Tone. The first factory opened in 1914 at 170 Fifth Avenue.
Today, E. & O. Mari/La Bella is still a family-owned and operated company that produces the finest quality strings in the world. La Bella is one of the most respected string manufacturers in the United States and distributes approximately 2000 different string models worldwide for all types of instruments. It manufactures them with the latest technologies to offer strings with the maximum guarantees and reliability.
