Bruno, I used these strings years ago. They are durable, and have a loud sound, and are very stable in pitch. That is the good part.
For the bad part, they do not "feel" good to the fingers, and have, in my opinion, a very nasty sound. If I were to use carbon now, I would start at the 4th course, as the trebles are too bright & strident, in my opinion. ed At 10:48 PM 6/8/2007 -0300, Bruno Correia wrote: >Does anybody in the list use carbon strings?
