Hey Ray, can you possibly describe the difference between the standard nickle wound E9 Nashville strings and the Cryogenic nickle wound E9 set? Is the higher priced set supposed to last longer, or do they just sound better? Thanks for your input, Roger  |

Roger, short answer is longer life and there by maintaining longer good tone, here is some detailed info, hope this helps.
So what are cryogenically tempered strings (also called cryogenic strings)? They are strings that have been taken from room temperature, to extremely cold temperatures (about -320 degrees Fahrenheit) for about fifteen hours. Once the strings have fully temperature soaked, they are slowly brought back to room temperature over a period of fifteen hours. The whole thermal cycle process takes about thirty seven hours to complete. The cryogenic process addresses five things from a metallurgical perspective:
1. It closes and refines grain structures within the alloy.
2. There is a reduction in retained stresses, wear and surface roughness.
3. It reduces retained austenite in the metal.
4. Increases dimensional stability
5. Increases overall durability
In theory, this means the string will achieve a greater stability in tuning as it is brought to full tension. In addition, the tone will not decay as quickly as the strings begin to age.
