Elixir - 13016 Corde Folk Anti Rust à l’unité 016

The Elixir 13016 touches the fret like a steel blade laid flat: the contact is clean, the vibration goes unhesitatingly towards the body, and the bass spectrum settles in with a weight that the 15-pull of the previous reference cannot match. In direct engagement, this single string fills the low-midrange space with dense warmth - the round, warm sound imposes itself without any additional treatment.

Under the pick or thumb, the solid-steel 16-pull imposes a frank resistance to strumming: the string doesn't sag under a light attack, it demands a clear intention and gives back a proportional energy in return. The PolyWeb coating covers the surface with no perceptible thickness - the pulp feels like metal, not plastic, and glides without dry friction between positions.

This Anti-Rust armouring seals the solid, unspun steel against sweat and oxidation: with no spiral to trap moisture, the string retains its bright, round sound far beyond what a standard bare string will tolerate.
