CODE: loop010
Loop-end steel - .010 in.

They're great!

I have purchased strings from other sources and found the loop ends to weak and break easily. I have to assume that I purchased low tension strings for other types of instruments. These strings are capable of holding the tension of a hammered dulcimer without slippage. The loop ends are slightly larger than the hitch pin and fit snuggly over the pin, they have eight twists and three barrel wraps giving them the strength to remain firm without any slippage.
