String life & detuning

MulliganChebichev · December 8th, 2007, 01:31 AM

I just 'discovered' alternate tunings and am having a blast, but I have a question, what I can I expect from my strings (D'Addario 10's) when I change tunings frequently (frequently as in Standard, drop D, open E, C in an hour, couple of hours everyday)?

As you can tell I'm still experimenting.

they should last like they usually do. If you wait a long time between changes you may break a few more strings like in open e or if you do c6 style tunings...but they should act like normal.
