From the inventor of guitar strings

Strings made by Ernie Ball - the proverbial icing on the cake for a powerful sound with plenty of sustain. Since the early 1960s, the US company has been making strings for almost every stringed instrument. This vast wealth of experience is clearly demonstrated in every product, and it is not by chance that Ernie Ball remains one of the market's leading manufacturers to this day. The product range has expanded immensely over the course of several decades and now includes many accessories such as effect pedals, cables, straps, and high-quality picks alongside the company's extensive selection of strings. However, Ernie Ball's core business is and remains the production of all manner of strings, which set standards in terms of sound, tuning stability, and durability - and the company is still based in Indio, California.

Phosphor bronze for a warm but still bell-like sound

The Ernie Ball 2144 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze strings are made with a winding composed of 92% copper, 7.7% tin, and 0.3% phosphorus, which guarantees a clear and bell-like sound as well as plenty of volume and excellent durability. With gauges of .013, .017, .026w, .034, .046, and .056 (Medium), the EB 2144 Earthwood strings are suitable for fingerpicking as well as chord work, delivering precise intonation along the entire length of the fingerboard and lasting tuning stability from the moment you put the strings on.

Traditionally reliable

Thanks to its long playing life, loud and well-balanced sound, precise intonation, and high tuning stability, the EB 2144 Earthwood Phosphor Bronze string set is particularly recommended as a reliable companion for ambitious acoustic guitarists who are looking for a high level of playing comfort combined with a rich, full sound for chord work. The combined power of over 50 years of experience in string development at Ernie Ball also makes the EB 2144 Earthwood strings the first choice for acoustic guitars - and at a very fair price.

About Ernie Ball

The Ernie Ball company was named after its founder and has its headquarters in San Luis Opisbo, California. Being a guitarist himself, Ernie Ball knew their needs very well. A major problem for him in the 1950s and 1960s was the lack of high-quality guitar and bass strings. In 1962, Ernie Ball invented the “Slinky”, a very flexible and therefore much more comfortable string, which also sounded better and was more durable. He specifically brought individual string gauges onto the market for a young clientele and touring musicians. The company’s success was unstoppable, and today Ernie Ball is the world's largest manufacturer of guitar and bass strings. Over the years, the range has expanded and now includes accessories such as cables, picks, straps, etc. Ernie Ball is also known in connection with the instrument manufacturer Music Man, which the company bought in 1984, but which continues to operate as an independent brand.

Great for both chords and solos

The EB 2144 Earthwood phosphor bronze strings provide an ideal blend of a powerful, bell-like sound and a comfortable playing feel. The strings' precise intonation means that chords and voicings will always sound bright and clear anywhere on the fingerboard. In addition, these Ernie Ball strings feature outstanding tuning stability as well as a direct response, all of which will be helpful in getting your timing as precise as possible. Those who instead go in for a more "crisp" sound may prefer the Ernie Ball Earthwood Bronze strings, which are available with identical gauges and at an even more affordable price. A comparison between these two types of strings might be well worthwhile in order to exploit the guitar's full sonic potential and thoroughly explore your personal preferences in terms of playability.

Krasse Stahlseiten für ungeübte Finger
Buddah 05.11.2009
Die ERNIE BALL EB 2144 POWER SLINKY sind top Stahlseiten für geübte Finger.

Auf meiner Westerngitarre wirken die Seiten eher steif und schwer spielbar. Aber wenn man die nötige Kraft erstmal aufgewendet hat, dann klingen die Seiten einfach großartig. Mit der nötigen wärmen im Bass und den schönen klaren Höhen sind die Seiten für mich, unschlagbare Allrounder.

Fazit: dicke steife Seiten, für den eher geübten Westerngitarristen.
Aber wenn sie erstmal schwingen, dann tuen sie das in einem sehr schönen und ausgewogenen Klang.

Für mich wohl nicht ganz das Richtige
Robert de Sable 24.01.2024
Ich spiele eine Johnson Resonatorgitarre (mit Holzkorpus), allerdings aktuell nur Country/Blues-Picking in Standard Tuning oder Drop D.
Hatte vorher die 2143 und danach Daddario Bluegrass Saiten und wollte nun also mal die etwas dickeren probieren.

Meine Beurteilung: Beklagen kann ich mich nicht, die Saiten lassen sich gut aufziehen und bespielen und bleiben stimmstabil.

Da ich mein Instrument viel spiele, sehe ich schon nach zwei Tagen erste Schweißflecken auf den Saiten, das ist aber wohl nicht zu vermeiden.

Warum ich nicht ganz happy bin: Auf meinem Instrument klingen sie nicht so prächtig. Mit dem Klang der Bluegrass Saiten verglichen klingen sie deutlich mittenbetonter, projizieren weniger und auch der Bass kommt mir etwas weniger druckvoll vor.

Fazit: Für meinen Geschmack und mein Instrument klingen die Saiten nicht optimal. Rein technisch und von der Verarbeitung gibt's aber nichts einzuwenden. Wer vielleicht auf der Suche nach einem etwas dezenteren, mittenbetonten Sound ist, z. B. für Recordings oder im Bandkontext, könnte hier womöglich glücklich werden. Ich aber werde die Saiten zumindest für diese Gitarre nicht nochmal kaufen, weil ich einen anderen Sound bevorzuge.

Ernie hall 2144
Didouda 21.12.2020
Indéniablement d’excellentes cordes. La guitare a gagné en profondeur de son et la projection a été magnifiée, les aigus sont devenus cependant moins brillants avec un son plus rond, ce qui peut être intéressant pour ajuster la tonalité d’un instrument :)

Una delle poche corde che fanno la differenza!
Pito76 21.06.2024
Le corde in oggetto le considero, come scritto nel titolo, una delle poche in grado di fare differenza rispetto alle altre.
La scalatura è un pochino più grande sulle corde medio basse rispetto allo standard e, il loro metodo di costruzione, fa sì che le chitarre aumentino il volume e siano più cariche sulle frequenze medio basse.
Il suono rimane comunque squillante.
Le frequenze medio alte non vengono penalizzate anzi, anche quelle prendono corpo… però, rispetto ad altre marche di corde, non vengono enfatizzate.
Le corde non sono ricoperte ma hanno comunque una buona durata nel tempo e vi si può apprezzare la purezza sonora.
Il costo è contenuto e consiglio senza esitare almeno di provarle!
