Worn through entirely

Passione E-string started to corrode, replaced with a new passione E. Lovely sound on it already!

My trusty Passione A string  unwound after a very long stint.

I’m loving these Passione strings as they sound better than anything I’ve ever used and they last brilliantly!

Replaced with another Passione A

I’ve decided it’s about time I did this blog properly, from now on I will post regularly, simply for my own interest and enjoyment!
