If you previously played the pre-2019 Suzuki Ittetsu Silk 015, you know the Achilles' heel: tarnish. Old versions would oxidize within a week of humid weather. The Silk 015 UPD update addressed this via three engineering changes: suzuki ittetsu silk 015 upd

Critical Warning: Do not use a string winder at full speed. Do not kink the string at the tuning post. The soft iron stretches plastically very easily.

The Stretch Method: Tune to pitch, pull the string away from the fretboard (gently, 1cm), retune. Repeat three times. The UPD material settles faster than the old formula.
