Drew. I think you'll like them. He has the widest range of Reso string gauges for the square neck of any company I know. I mean look at this. I really want to try the RM-F set.

Seems to me that the Newtones are more expensive than most other strings, even with the 20% discount.
Is the primary advantage that Newtone offers different string gauges than you can get elsewhere? Just curious because I have never bought them...

Dane, there are a couple reasons. One they are hand made. Two they are imported from Great Britain. No one else makes their strings like Malcolm. See below
Newtone Strings is a small British string making firm, manufacturing a comprehensive range of high quality strings for many instruments. Malcolm Newton started the company in the late 80's after being a wire rope and heavy cable maker for many years. The strings are built one at a time, inspected by their maker's eye through every step of the process. These strings are really handmade to the highest standard. Newtone Strings have researched a wide market to find the best quality Nickel, Phosphor Bronze, Stainless Steel and Steel wire.
One of the main distributors in mainland Europe is
What is the secret of Newtone Strings?
When playing with Newtone Strings for the first time you will realize that the string tension is noticeably lower than with other strings. This is achieved by using a round core string instead of a hexagonal core string. The hex core found in mass produced strings improves the bond between the bronze or nickel winding and the center core, but these strings have a stiffer feel and need a slightly higher tension to pitch to tune. Furthermore, there will always be tiny cavities between the core and the winding, allowing moisture and dirt to accumulate which soon deadens the string. Therefore, the high quality round core construction of Newtone strings results in greater string life and easier playability!
Now I, (me, myself, I). in fact do find they do last longer than conventional strings. I started using the Newtone Aloha's as they are not only a round core but a light core and it is well established that they are good especially for vintage Wessies and Lap Acoustics which I have 5 of. I also believe that Newtone has the widest range of Reso string guages of any manufacturer. Strings and beyond doesn't carry them all, however you can purchase direct from Malcolm.
