      Coated to Stay Fresh

      A thin, tone-preserving coating helps extend life without dulling your sound or feel. The result is more playing time with fewer string changes.

      Testimonials

      • I was looking for something different and when I went to the Dragon Skin+ strings from DR, they were different from other coated strings that I'd used in the past.  They have a chime to them without being too tacky sound and without being too bright and the feel and the tone with the Dragon Skin+ strings has been really good to me.5/5 JAY BUCHANAN, RIVAL SONS
      • DR Strings deliver exactly what I need—clarity, longevity, and stability without compromise. Their versatility lets me explore different sounds while always maintaining that crisp, defined tone I love. Every note stays in tune, feels smooth under my fingers, and brings out the best in my playing. If you want strings that truly support your sound, DR Strings is the way to go!5/5 CHENA LEO
