## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between these rps and the standard? are these more like cobalt or something?**
A: The top three strings have a special binding around the ball end of the string, as many breakages happen there. This extra coating helps strenghten the string. I can recommend these as I have had a lot less breakages wit these RPS strings

**Q: Does the 9-42 set have a wound or unwound 3rd string?**
A: Hi, this set has a plain 3rd.ThanksStrings Direct
