I was a tester for the d'Addario NB strings before they hit the market and I put the sample on my Orpheum Jumbo. I was immediately convinced that I preferred them to the regular PBs but as I had quite a few PB sets I wanted to use some of them up before moving to NB. I finally did and I also put a set on my Orpheum Rosewood 12-string. They don't disappoint! I haven't checked on the tension chart compared to PB, but I actually think they require less pressure to play and feel more comfortable than the PBs. And in terms of sound I think that they enhance the clarity of the 12 string, with even better note separation. Let's see how long they last - on the Jumbo it was 3 months+. I also have a set of lights that I want to try on my Adamas in the summer to see how they preform with the bowl and carbon-fibre top.
