I'll try that Luca. Thanks! I bet it keeps your fingertips nice and
soft too.

You've got to get just the right amount on, as to not deaden the string
too much. But while I was visiting a luthier recently, we compared

Bill,

Why don't you give Aquila NGE a try? They are pure nylgut, long-lasting, very

Dear Bill and the List,
I recommend Mimmo's Aquila's D's to the basses, for which there still

Pyramid basses of my 10-courser to Aquila's D's. Great improvement!
Some examples of those D's (and also mainly NNG's):
