Anton, Ed
I did use these many years ago, and I seem to remember that they
were slightly warmer than the nylon core; but when compared with a
gimped string (possibly even an open-wound), they still should be
classified as bright. Lindberg in the LSA article seems to think that
Kurschner copper-wound bass strings are the closest synthetic to gut.
I can't comment on that, as I haven't tried them or even consciously
heard them. Well actually, Lindberg does say he was using them in
London, along with gut top strings, and I don't recall them being too
intrusive, but that is an after thought, and not a conscious
perception at the time.
Regards
Anthony
