Tone Forged in The North

Built in The Nickel City
We set out to build something that should have existed a long time ago. A string company that's rooted here, made with intention, and focused on what players actually care about:
Tone. Feel. Consistency.
We're building NorthTone right here in Sudbury, Ontario — the Nickel Capital of the World.

Canadian Guitar Strings Built to Compete
We're not here to make an average string and slap a maple leaf on it.
We're building something that can genuinely hold its own against anything else on the market — in tone, in feel, and in consistency set after set. Every material we source, every decision we make, every standard we hold ourselves to comes back to that.
We just want to make a really great string. One that happens to be made here.
