Allston, Massachusetts, February 5, 2021 — SonoTone, the Massachusetts-based manufacturer of boutique, premium guitar strings, has debuted its Concert series of acoustic guitar strings. SonoTone Concert brass strings offer guitarists, luthiers and vintage instrument collectors, alike, the opportunity to outfit their instruments with strings formulated using an 80/20 bronze wrap-wire on steel-string acoustic guitars, before the advent of phosphor bronze strings.

- All SonoTone premium strings are made in small batches in the U.S. and sold directly to consumers via www.sono-tone.com in the U.S. and in select European countries through Fulfillment by Amazon, as well as in Japan through the manufacturer's distribution partner.

Starting from this fundamental level, Pandey tested different metals, amalgams, and manufacturing processes until he eventually found the hard-won formula, known only to him, which at last recreated the vintage tone and feel of the guitars he remembered playing as a kid.
Unlike many contemporary, machine-made strings produced in bulk quantities outside the U.S. at mass-market, commodity prices, SonoTone Concert strings use highest-quality materials, with additional measures taken throughout the manufacturing process to optimize string behavior, playability, tuning stability and longevity — without using any coatings, so that only the pure elements that make up the string-wire ring out, unencumbered, through the entire body of the guitar.
