Re: The Glory of Mangan Monels
I've tried monels from Curt Mangan, D'Addario, and Martin. I think I preferred the tone of D'Addario slightly more than Curt Mangan, but they only come in one gauge (medium). To my ears, the D'Addario formula has just a touch more top-end sparkle. The Martins are... less than spectacular.
After testing my way through a whole slew of string brands, I'm revisiting Curt Mangan Monel, D'Addario Monel, and D'Addario Nickel Bronze. Right now, I'm playing Curt Mangan monels. They are very well-suited to the classical/baroque rep that I play.
