acoustic strings
Wound wire, unamplified
Acoustic strings are strings designed for acoustic instruments—guitars, violins, cellos—as opposed to electric instruments.
On guitars, acoustic strings are typically bronze-wound or phosphor bronze, producing a bright, resonant tone without amplification.
The term often appears in music stores and product descriptions: I need a new set of acoustic strings for my Martin.
