Has anyone tried using violin strings on mandolin? They are not radically different in design from a Thomastik flatwound for example so I'm wondering how they would sound. Not that I would think they could seriously sound as good as mandolin strings, I'm just curious.
Same goes for using mandolin strings on a violin. Pretty darn sure any roundwound string will sound like total cr*p played with a bow, but I wonder how flatwound mandolin strings wound sound bowed.
