SIT silencer

This set of strings are almost a year old; left in another one of my guitar bags & forgotten. The 'silencer' label is there to indicate its coated nature; the strings are coated with a very thin layer of silk so that when one drags one's fretting fingers over the wound strings during play, it would minimize that annoying screeching sound that entails. This coating's other benefit would be its corrosion retardation function- the strings inside are still shiny & ready to go.
