HOSCO Nickel-Silver fretwires have a unified notation.

Facing the global environmental issue known as “Carbon Neutrality”, we have challenged to take part in reduction of CO2 emission by eliminating annealing process, where fire reduces hardness of metal.
Besides more and more demand for harder frets have encouraged us to shift with the time stream.

Here we announce the hardness notation, HV200, is soon to unify that for our “HF” series of Nickel-Silver fretwires in Jumbo, Medium & Small.
The fretwires fixed per new solidity will succeed once old stock runs out.

 *Nickel-Silver : The most popular material for fretwires in the market, boasting ease of processing, cutting and dressing.

We offer a wide variety of cut length, width and crown, among which you may choose according to your specific preferences.
