At C. F. Mar tin & Co. we design strings for maximum performance and exacting tone. The following tips are provided to help you increase the longevity of your strings and maintain the richness and fullness of the tone:

• Tune, gently stretch and re-tune new strings prior
• to playing.
• Always wash and dry your hands prior to playing.
• After playing, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the strings and fingerboard.
• Store unused strings in the original packaging in a dry location.
• Periodically check the saddle and nut for burrs that could result in string breakage; have any burrs removed by a qualified repair center.
