Magnacore is a multi-stranded steel-core line voiced for warmth and dark power.

A daily-playing professional or advanced student should expect several months of consistent tone. Replace when the sound becomes dull, unfocused, or false in the upper positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long do new Sovereign strings take to settle in?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow 24 to 72 hours of normal playing for the strings to settle. Retune gently in small increments and wipe rosin residue off after each session.
