The background of D'addario
D'addario is a name with a long family history in string making. Its roots lie in Salle, a small Italian village in the province of Pescara, where agriculture and string production were long the main activities. In that early period, strings were still made from sheep or pig gut.
After the 1905 earthquake, Rocco and Carmine D’Addario left for New York. There they soon started importing and selling the family’s strings. In 1918, Rocco returned to Italy, while Carmine began making strings himself under the name C. D’addario according to traditional family methods, initially mainly for bowed instruments and harps.
When the guitar became very popular in the early twentieth century, the family responded and had been making guitar strings since the early 1930s. During the Second World War, the invention of nylon brought another change, after which the family also started producing nylon strings.
With the rise of Rock ‘n Roll, demand shifted increasingly toward metal strings. John, Carmine’s son, founded Archaic Musical String Mfg Co. in 1956, specializing in steel strings for Gretsch, D’angelico, Martin and Guild, among others. In 1962 these activities merged under the name Darco. Eventually, in 1974, the family decided to market the strings under its own name, creating J. D’Addario & Company.
As the company continued to grow, D'addario moved to Farmingdale, New York, in 1994. The company is still owned by the D’Addario family, with several family members still working in the business.
