Im playing with YYE Poly from a year ago.

and i have some G Strings from two years ago that are playable.

and Some kitty string that is a few months old im playing.

OH and some homemade string that is about a month old.

Its not how long the string lasts, its how long you are willing to let it last.

BTW I never cleaned the strings

It depends on what you mean by “longest lasting”.

For instance, a new poly string has 1-2 hours of great play, and then maybe 10 more of mediocre play.

On the other hand, some nylon strings have 30 minutes of good play, and then years of bad play.

So really, just asking what the “longest lasting” string is really isn’t the question to be asking. Rather, you should be looking for a string that has the longest good play time.

Angel hair lasts forever, but it’s a thinner string.

I’ve been on the same Toxic Dragon string for about 7months now.

I got some Graou string about 6 months ago and it’s still going. Getting a bit grimy but there’s hardly any sign of fraying.

I had one piece of angel hair string in 7th grade, it lasted me the whole school year until I gave it away because my friend wanted some angel hair so bad. Now dragon is the longest lasting string I know of.
