roz jam karne ke liye best
roz sham ko office se aane ke baad bajata hu aur ye string daily practice ke liye kaafi mast chal rahi hai. intonation stable rehta hai bar bar tune nahi karna padta. nickel wound hone ki wajah se grip aur feel bhi solid mil rahi hai. delivery bhi time pe mil gayi thi.

thoda doubt tha par badhiya hai
was skeptical at first kyuki single string ka itna idea nahi tha but my old one snapped aur jaldi replacement chahiye tha. tone me wo bright crisp awaaz aa rahi hai jo mix me easily cut through karti hai. packaging bhi tight thi. ekdum satisfied hu.
