Re: Question for Thomastik strings users
I put a set of the light ones on my new/old bowl back and they sound terrific.
I've been using them on my mandocello for years. Flat winding keeps the fret noise down when you shift, which I do a lot in our mandolin orchestra. I tried another brand about 6 months ago, gave them about a month to break in, and they still didn't sound anything as good as the Thomastik. I replaced them and decided I'm never ordering anything else for my mandocello.
