Description
If you’re chasing that dark, damped jazz-box growl, ECG26 is the heaviest gauge in D’Addario’s Chromes flatwound lineup and it shows the moment you dig in. Each string is wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, then polished down to a glassy, ultra-smooth surface — no ridges, no finger squeak, just a silky glide across the fretboard.
That flatwound construction is what gives Chromes their signature voice: warm, mellow, and tone-rich in a way roundwounds simply can’t replicate. Being D’Addario’s heaviest flatwound gauge, this set also delivers maximum tension, which translates into a firmer feel and fuller low end under your pick or fingers — a favorite among traditional jazz players who want depth without brightness.
Gauges in this medium set: plain steel .013 and .017, nickel wound .026, .035, .045, and .056.
- Heaviest flatwound gauge from D’Addario — smooth feel, warm/mellow tone, maximum tension
- Ribbon wound and polished for that signature ultra-smooth flatwound response
- Corrosion-resistant packaging keeps them fresh until you’re ready to string up
- Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. on precision, digitally controlled machinery
Every set that leaves the factory is built for consistency — set after set, night after night. Swap out your worn strings for a fresh ECG26 set and feel the difference between a dead board and one that’s actually singing.
