John Pearse came to the USA in 1978 to develop a unique line of accessories for the C.F.Martin Company. After 2 years, he left Martin, and, with a partner, started Breezy Ridge Instruments to produce hammer dulcimers. Soon they were producing John Pearse strings, designed especially for the professional musician. Within months, word of these exciting strings had spread across the country. Though still a small company by comparison, John Pearse strings have worldwide appeal.
This set is made with phosphor bronze windings for deeper bass.
The term "Bluegrass" on this set refers to the gauging. A Bluegrass gauge combines strings 1, 2, and 3 from a light gauge set with strings 4, 5, and 6 from a medium gauge set. The result is a set that sounds much like a medium gauge (more bass, louder volume) but plays more like a light gauge (less tension, easier to bend). And since the word "Bluegrass" just refers to the gauge here, you can still play acoustic rock with this set without fear of being arrested by the string police.
