Re: Difficulty finding Elixir Nanoweb coated strings
The new D'Addario XS strings are coated like Elixirs, although the XS are Phosphor-Bronze rather than 80/20. Seems the XS are spiral-wrapped whereas the Elixirs have an extruded coating. In any case, D'Addario claims the XS are less damped than other coated strings (presumably Elixirs) so it's possible that less-damped PB strings (XS) might be comparable to more-damped 80/20 strings (Elixir)?
Could be worth a try - many users here like the XS set. I recently ordered some but haven't made time to wind them on yet. I know, I should get onto it.
best of luck!
