The other day I went surfing around on Amazon for new and different strings, and saw several brands previously unknown to me. Mostly they turned out to be made in China (Henry's, Muscell, Journey, Alice, Moozak, Stagg), and after my experience with Orphee I want no part of that, at least not yet. But I also saw a very strange name brand for acoustic guitar strings: Pitbull.
I clicked through to the listing and this brand turns out to be made in Turkey using American core wire (they don't say where the wrap wire comes from). According to their webpage, the company is some sort of state-sponsored endeavor. This is so unusual and just plain odd that I was compelled to order a set.
My experience with European strings is that they tend to vary more in character and quality than American-made ones. This is not necessarily a bad thing; I currently have Made-in-England Rotosound strings on the D-55, and I like them very much. But it does mean I don't know what to expect. They're due to arrive Tuesday, so we'll see.
