A longer life due to there being no angular surfaces under the wrapping wire where dirt can accumulate, deadening the string and increasing it's susceptibility to corrosion. Our round cored strings have a slightly lower tension to pitch than hexagonal cored strings, meaning less strain on the guitar neck and soundboard. Newtone have consulted many, many players who use their strings to find out what they like about them, and the most common response about our round cored ranges of strings are as follows: Most guitar strings are made on a hexagonal core, because it is easier to mass manufacture strings and achieve fairly consistent products. Piano strings often utilise a round core wire and these strings must be made to last many years and maybe round cores had something to do with their longevity. The major reason in terms of why Newtone strings may feel or play differently to those from other companies lies with their use of round core wire in all our Phosphor Bronze strings and some of our Nickel and Stainless Steel strings too. Malcolm's Strings have become something of an industry secret and you'll find his strings used by the likes of Ralph McTell, Gordon Giltrap, Hank Marvin, The Levellers, The Oyster Band to name a few. After a number temporary jobs Malcolm eventually began experimented and building a reputation as an Instrument String maker and Newtone strings was born. I was about forty years old and was forced to take a long look at what I was going to do with my life and career." says Malcolm. "In 1982 I was made redundant from the wire rope firm. Then came the 1980's, Britain's unemployment figures began to rise as many manufacturing industries began to decline. He then took a job with a firm manufacturing wire rope, and it was there that he gained his knowledge and experience of wire drawing, plating processes and the many and various applications of wire.
Malcolm Newton began working life as a coal miner, from there he moved to an electricity company and worked as a cable jointer and a linesman for a number of years.
