A bad quality product would be inconsistent and this would be evident becuase the string would have stains or marks. Nevertheless, a marked wire would not necessarily affect the tone, but a stained string means that it has been stored in bad conditions.

In magma we make strict quality controls and are commited to produce the gratest quality musical instruments strings. Although this can not be the case, remember that the early braking of the stirngs can be caused, between other reasons, by the wrong stringging or, the most common reason, caused by the irregular edges produced in the bridge after some time. This irregular edges are difficult to detect but can be merciless with the strings. If your string always brakes in the bridge, please make an examination by touching it, to check if the surface is soft. In case it has details or irregular edges go to your musical store or luthier in order to fix this common problem.
