D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Bajo Quinto Strings - Coated | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Bajo Quinto Strings bring the company's acclaimed XS coating technology to the bajo quinto, delivering balanced warmth, enhanced harmonic content, and dramatically extended string life across all ten strings. Built on D'Addario's NY Steel hexagonal core with phosphor bronze winding and an ultra-thin film coating on both wound strings and plain steels, the XS Phosphor Bronze set is one of the longest-lasting bajo quinto string sets in the D'Addario catalog — without sacrificing the tone, feel, or consistency that serious players demand. Backed by over 300 years of string-making heritage and manufactured entirely in the USA, this is the definitive coated bajo quinto string set for stage and studio.

Product Overview

The XS Phosphor Bronze set distinguishes itself from ordinary coated strings through D'Addario's commitment to coating every string in the set — not just the wound strings. Most coated sets only treat the wound strings, leading to an uneven aging process where the lower strings outlast the upper ones and players end up with a set that sounds inconsistent long before it's actually due for a change. By applying an ultra-thin film coating to all ten strings, D'Addario ensures the XS Phosphor Bronze set ages evenly from top to bottom, maintaining consistent tone and feel across every course throughout the full lifespan of the set.

Phosphor bronze winding over a NY Steel hexagonal core delivers the tonal signature that makes phosphor bronze a favored winding material for acoustic and regional string instruments — balanced warmth in the low end, rich harmonic content across the midrange, and a clear, articulate top end that gives chord playing depth and definition. The hexagonal core increases surface area contact between the core and winding, resulting in tighter tension consistency, better intonation, and more stable tuning across the bajo quinto's ten strings and five double-course layout.

Fusion Twist technology is applied to the plain steel strings, eliminating slack at the string's termination point and significantly increasing resistance to detuning and breakage — a practical advantage for the bajo quinto's higher-tension plain string courses. Digitally controlled winding ensures that every set is produced to the same precise specifications, so players can restring with confidence that each new pack will perform identically to the last.

Ideal For

• Bajo quinto players seeking the best coated phosphor bronze strings with long-lasting tone, consistent aging across all ten strings, and a smooth, comfortable feel
• Norteño, conjunto, and regional Mexican music performers who need reliable tuning stability and rich, balanced tone across the bajo quinto's full course range
• Stage and studio players who want dramatically extended string life without compromising the warmth and harmonic content of phosphor bronze
• Players upgrading from uncoated bajo quinto strings who want the protective benefits of an XS coating without sacrificing natural tone or feel
• Musicians who demand set-to-set consistency and want a bajo quinto string backed by D'Addario's 300-year manufacturing heritage

Key Features

Ultra-Thin XS Coating on All Ten Strings

D'Addario's XS coating is applied to both the wound and plain steel strings across all ten strings of the set, ensuring even aging and consistent tone from the first string to the fifth course. The ultra-thin film protects against sweat, grime, and fraying without the muffled feel or reduced brightness associated with thicker coatings.

Phosphor Bronze Winding for Balanced Warmth

Phosphor bronze winding delivers the balanced tonal character that defines this material — warm low end, rich harmonic midrange, and clear upper-register articulation. For the bajo quinto's wide tonal range and double-course layout, this balance ensures every chord and melodic line speaks with consistent presence and depth.

NY Steel Hexagonal Core

The NY Steel hex core increases the contact surface between core and winding, producing tighter tension consistency, better intonation, and more stable tuning across all five courses. This is the same core technology found in D'Addario's NYXL and XT string lines, applied to the unique demands of the bajo quinto format.

Fusion Twist Technology on Plain Steels

D'Addario's Fusion Twist process locks the plain steel strings at their termination point, eliminating slack in the twist and significantly increasing tuning stability and resistance to breakage. This is especially valuable on the bajo quinto's higher plain string courses, where tension demands are greatest.

Digitally Controlled Winding for Set-to-Set Consistency

Every XS Phosphor Bronze set is wound using D'Addario's digitally controlled process, ensuring identical gauge, tension, and tonal character from one pack to the next. Players can restring with complete confidence that their new set will sound and feel exactly like the last.
