   Never tried Infeld. I'm not too keen on the medium dominants but the

   Heavy Evah Pirazzi or Obbligato might do a good job too. I use the

   Lots of Trad players didn't move in this league of string quality.
   Willie Taylor bought his from Gillian Birnies' (nee Yellop) father who
   supplied us all with East German steel strings at -L-3:50 per set. This
   at a time when Dogals were -L-7:00 and Thomastik steel core were
   -L-10:50. Even Dominants were about -L-20 is those days.
   No wonder they didn't take kindly to being tuned down!
