Opening up my final package of Martin Marquis strings in the old-school cardboard box packaging that was standard up until a few years ago. I do thankfully have a fairly decent supply of the (now discontinued) Marquis strings in the newer envelope packaging, thanks to some bulk purchases over the past 2-3 years. The Marquis strings start out pretty bright when they’re first put on the guitar, but mellow out to a really nice, warm tone over time.
