I just got them in the mail a couple of days ago, bought two sets. Hope the other set is OK. I left a note with Ted, I am sure I will hear back. Thanks for your reply, I thought maybe my ear was off.
Hi Rich, I think Sid is right. I, too, had one of the bad-batch D strings a while back. Ted replaced it quickly and all was well. I've used JM11s a bunch of times and really like them, so I think the bad Ds are rare. I guess you just got lucky If you contact Ted, I am sure he'll fix you up with a replacement D string. Best wishes, Bob
Rich, How old are the JM11's? I had something similar happen, and it turns out there was a bad batch with (if I recall) a D string that was wonky. It drove me crazy, as I could not get it to play in tune. This was somewhere around a year ago. Ted replaced the strings for me with a new set, as he had been having issues with the supplier. One possible explanation, at least. Sid
