I am enjoying the change and will look forward to the days ahead practicing with these strings.
Dan,
From the looks of your post I think you will be getting more Thomastik-Infeld strings. I agree with you 100 percent they are more comfortable on the fingers. The Thomastik-Infeld strings will last you for a couple months versus some of other strings that you have to change every month. So in the long run the price should equal out about the same. The current set of strings that I have on my mandolin now I have been playing every day for almost three months and they still sound good. The one thing I do after I finish playing is always take a cloth and wipe the strings off. I believe it helps the life of the strings no matter what brand you use and I do the same with my guitar strings after playing.
Enjoy those strings!!!!
