Die neuen Beschichteten von DR
Kentucky 24.02.2025
Beschichtete Saiten - klingt grundsätzlich nach ner guten Idee, wenn sie dann auch gut ausgeführt wird.
Leider sehe ich auch bei der zweiten Serie der Dragon Skins keine wirkliche Verbesserung in der Haltbarkeit.
Spielgefühl:
Zuerst fällt das eher für Stainless Steels typisch raue Spielgefühl auf, was vermutlich an der Beschichtung liegt.
Zum Klang:
Typisch für Beschichtete Saiten ist der Mangel an (für manche eher schrillen) Obertönen von neuen Saiten.
Ansonsten ordnen sie sich Nickel Typisch eher auf der etwas wärmeren Seite ein. Die dichte des Sounds erinnert mich an den Sound von DR's Fat Beams(Pressurewounds) gegenüber Stainless Steels.

Zur Haltbarkeit:
Nach 23 Tagen bespielen (1 Probe+ 1 Gig / Woche plus regelmäßiges Üben ->im Schnitt ca. 1 Std/Tag) sind die Saiten so dass ich sie wechseln möchte. Nicht komplett tot aber es fehlen mir zu viele Obertöne.
So lange hält bei mir auch nen vernünftiger unbeschichteter Satz der mindestens mal 12€ weniger kostet.

Zur Verarbeitung:
Leider ist mir direkt nach dem aufziehen aufgefallen, dass die D Saite merklich weniger Obertöne hatte. Das führe ich auf Qualitätsschwankungen bei der manuellen Herstellung der Saite zurück. (Hatte ich leider schon mehrfach bei DR)

Alles in allem lohnt sich das überhaupt nicht. Da greife ich lieber auf die grünen Saiten mit dem großen "E" drauf zurück. Die sind leider bisher die einzigen die halten was sie versprechen.

TL,DR:

Lohnt sich nicht.
Wer sparen will nimmt unbeschichtete, wer noch mehr sparen will nimmt die mit dem "E" drauf.
