The legendary Adamas Phosphor Bronze strings – now available in a nano-coated NUOVA COATED version.
The special alloy with a higher copper content already delivers outstanding tone, exceptional flexibility, and pronounced sustain. The additional modern nano-plasma coating enhances sound quality even further, yet remains barely noticeable thanks to its ultra-thin design. The warm, rich, and earthy tone speaks for itself.
In addition, the core wire is also coated, providing optimal protection against sweat intrusion and ensuring extended durability.
Anchored by a solid brass ball end, Adamas Nuova Coated strings sound significantly fuller than conventional strings. Thanks to composite gauging, they are ideal for fast playing styles while maintaining the full, rich tone expected from a high-quality acoustic instrument.
In the Nuova Coated RC versions, a round core wire is used instead of a hexagonal one. This allows the winding to sit flush against the core, resulting in longer sustain and a more balanced, overtone-rich sound.
The lower string tension at the same gauge, combined with the high-tech coating, makes for an exceptionally comfortable playing feel.
Ovation instruments, especially Adamas, have always been among the most innovative guitars imaginable.
But an outstanding guitar also needs outstanding strings. This high standard led the developers of the Ovation guitars, the engineers of the KAMAN company, to become increasingly dissatisfied with the strings of other manufacturers. With their advanced measuring methods, they analysed their weaknesses and began to apply this knowledge when KAMAN acquired the National Musical String Company in 1970, moved it to Connecticut, renamed it Kaman Musical String Company and developed the new ADAMAS strings there.
They added some remarkable features to their new product: a higher-quality phosphor bronze alloy that "darkens" the strings visually and tonally, composite gauging, closed, solid ball ends and high-precision manufacturing.
Since 1980 - just ten years after the development process began - ADAMAS Phosphor Bronze strings have been among the hottest professional strings, whether played on Ovation, Adamas or traditional wooden guitars.
The original equipment of the Ovation and Adamas guitars is the .012 set 1818, today in the modern, nano-coated version.
