Is there nickel in M Steel ?

[patricek]

Hello

We run a french store, and we get more and more people with nickel allergies. We are trying to built a line of products dedicated to nickel allergies.
i would like to know if there is nickel in M Steel (soon a demo video on our site! )?

Thank you

There is no nickel in the...

Stainless Steel Slinkys
Cobalt Slinkys

The M-steels have nickel only in the core of the wound strings, which don't come into contact with fingers and don't cause problems.

Remember that guitar frets are most often made of nickel silver, which are approximately 60% copper, 20% nickel, and 20% zinc (and 0% silver, oddly enough).
