We're going to be adding Canada as part of our Players Circle program first. This will happen hopefully in the next 8 to 10 weeks. We have also been speaking with our recycling partner concerning the countries that are currently involved in Players Circle - that is how we provide access to the...
We recently added the UK to Players Circle and are working on the recycling part of the program. It's far more involved and unfortunately it does take time to make sure that it's a practical process for each country. Thanks for your interest and I'll be sure to pass your comment along to our...
MODS - i'm not sure if this is the right place so please address if need be -

You can certainly send back any of the packaging that you'd like to include. We've also been contacted by a great many international players. There have been requests to send strings back to us, regardless of a person's location (Canada, Poland, Germany and more). The fact of the matter is, the...
We hope to expand this to Canada at some point but we don't have a timeline as of yet. If you really want to take on that undertaking, you can send them to me at the factory.
Hey all - don from D'Addario here. Today we announced the world's first Guitar String Recycling program.
The recycling program is called "Playback" and it rewards you for recycling ANY brand of used strings, not just ours. Shipping the strings back to us is prepaid - all you have to do is print...
It it helps, you can always use our tension calculator to help dial in the tension based on a specific tuning and scale length - www.stringtensionpro.com. And yes, that's the reason we don't put a note on those singles. Players are tuning to so many variations it would be hard for us to suggest...
If that happens again, please let us know - my email is [email protected] - and yes, as hard as it is to believe, counterfeit strings are out there. You can always enter the code from the inner baggie here - www.daddario.com/PLAYREAL
Greetings all - don dawson here - it's taken the better part of 2 years to develop this but we're releasing it slowly to make sure that's it's functioning properly. We get dozens and dozens of requests for recommendations of string sets based on variables such as tuning, scale length and such...

Just a heads up folks - we had a meeting this morning further to our EXP Bass line. EXPs will NOT be discontinued. We had heard from a number of players out there who voiced their opinion and concern. We'll be notifying our dealer network shortly further to this point. Thanks for sharing your...
AN - does the Coronado have a string thru string install? Our String Length doc can help better identify the right string length. If you'd like us to replace the set you purchased, you can email me at [email protected]
Here's the link for the string doc - [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I've been playing in an tribute band for the better part of 13 years. We've always found it easy to get work. It's been a great deal of fun for us, which translates really well to our audience. Pay days have been strong for most of that time. Although the fees have been sliding slightly south...
;) Interestingly enough, you're not the first to ask if we're expanding the gauge selection for FlexSteels. We've shared that with our product team and after the stapler went zinging over my head, i said "you'll get back to me then??"
So hopefully, we'll hear something soon once FlexSteels...
Gents - don from D'Addario Strings here- just curious as to who might be going to Bass Player Live this weekend.
We have a booth on-site. Be sure to stop by and say "hey" - AND if you happen to be a slap bass player AND you're going - shoot me an email - we got some things going on...
Greetings one and all - Don Dawson from D'Addario here - we're putting out a call for a funky, low down, bass player for a photo shoot. Most likely the date would be 10/16, 10/17 or 10/18.
If you're available, have the look and play funk bass, please send an email with your website, photos...
TBer's:
As many of you know, D’Addario has been publishing our string tension data on our packages since 1988. We also published our online String Tension Guide to explain how we achieved those numbers, including proprietary information about the unit weights of our strings. As part of...
DOM - I just PM'd you regarding the tuner. Let's get you a new one to see if that's one is just being squirrelly. We haven't heard this comment yet but it's only been out for 2 weeks. I've got one on a 4 and 5 string here and it took me several placements to find where they worked best but that...
Fretmore - don from D'Addario/Planet Waves here - i'd love to talk to you more about your placement and commentary regarding the NS Micro - can you email me? [email protected]??
Don from D'Addario Strings here - we extended the taper length to 37 7/8" - it was a rolling production change. So there would most likely still be some older production still on shelves in the marketplace. If the OP wants to contact me further to this - my email is [email protected] and...
We increased our taper length by approx. 1/2" or more to help with this situation. The change occurred late in 2012 and was a rolling production change thru our product line.
Dradder - just curious if you had reached out to Ibanez to see if they offer a solution. I'm not sure we offer the solution but i've put an email into our OEM string guy to see if he can find out something from our side. If I find out any pertinent info -i'll post.
There are some sets with our distributor - if you send me an email - i'll put you in contact with them and you may be able to secure a set sooner. However, Tmall will be selling D'Addario strings in June. And you will be able to get them from there. My email is [email protected] - let me...
Gents - just so you know, the set you're looking for has not been discontinued. I'm trying to find out why you're not able to get this set. We have a new regional sales manager so I'm not sure if he's ready to handle an issue like this but let me see what I can find out for you in this regard.
Hey don from D'Addario here - several post back there was discussion regarding the extension of our taper length on Long Scale XLs. That is true. This was a rolling production change so the only hiccup here is that some product out in the general marketplace, may still have the old spec. If...
You can always check your D'Addario strings at www.daddario.com/playreal - enter the code that's on the baggie for verification. And yes - there is a very large counterfeit problem in the string market. And not just with our brand. Be careful out there!
Agreed - sorry for the confusion. Glad to hear that Pete was of assistance. If I can be of any additional help - you know how to reach me! All the best!
Don from D'Addario here - the new taper length has been a rolling production change that started just before the end of 2012. That would mean that there are still sets out in the market with the shorter taper length.
If you got a set that didn't have the updated length - and that's what you...
