DR Strings

 

DR Strings has been a guitar and bass string manufacturing leader since 1989.  Based in Westwood, New Jersey, and founded by Mark Dronge, son of Guild Guitars founder Alfred Dronge and Dr. Benzion Rapoport, DR Strings is a family-owned, all-American business renowned for its handcrafted strings, often referred to as "The Handmade String." DR Strings is also famous for its vibrant colored strings, adding a unique touch to your instrument.

 

DR Strings' Story is The Fine Art of Fine Tuning.  In 1989, DR Strings revolutionized the market by reintroducing handmade round core string making.  This meticulous process requires high skill, time, and care—but we believe it's worth it.  You can hear and feel the difference between a handmade string and a machine-made string.

 

DR Strings sets high standards through the training of Master string Craftsmen.  At DR Strings, craftsmanship is paramount.  Our string winders undergo at least six months of rigorous training to master the craft.  This training instills in them the instinct to make the constant, minute adjustments that only a skilled hand can achieve.  We test the wire at every stage—from the moment it arrives from our suppliers to the final inspection before hand-packaging—ensuring perfection in every wrap.

 

DR Strings are proudly Made in the USA with Premium Quality American Materials.  DR takes pride in using only the finest American materials, from the wire and ball ends to the packaging.  The DR logo is a mark of quality, assuring you that you're getting the best of everything.  DR Strings aims to deliver more than just the response of a fresh string—DR wants you to hear something extra, a richness and depth that you didn't hear before.

 

Innovation, Design, and Constant Improvement are the cornerstones of DR Strings.  DR are not just string makers—they are players.  The DR team is always encouraged to innovate and experiment, leading to the creation of unique and different strings.  Quietly, DR has become one of the most innovative string companies in the industry.  You'll hear and feel the difference when you play DR handmade strings.
