I broke a string at jam the other day ( haven't done that in a while) and so I decided to try these Curt Mangan Monel coated strings I picked up a while ago. I did the Black Diamond thing years ago, but found when the coating started to deteriorate the strings were difficult to play. Any way these do not have near as heavy a coating as Black Diamond.
At first I thought they were "scratchy sounding" but after a while that seemed to stabilize, and they have a slickness to them, on my F5 and for bluegrass I'm liking them, the PB I used before did have a "brassy" quality that seemed cutting at times.
Anyone else using "coated strings" out there
