I'm not a brand man, I don't usually use certain brand of strings nor certain brand of anything.
For me these strings were a bit of a dissapointment.
The sound was there, strings well balanced and sounded ok. And that's the problem, they sounded just ok there nothing that I could convince my self to pay the extra bucks for these.
Out of the box the resonance and tone of the strings was fine, but noticed the started to sound dull quite fast.
Also Im not sure were I a victim of an "mondays" batch cause I broke my D string after couple of weeks. Usually never happens.
