solid durability and stable pitch
been tracking string options for fractional instruments for months before switching to these medium tension ones. compared to some cheaper generic strings that stretch out continuously in humidity, these hold their tuning amazingly well. the solid steel core gives it that quick response which makes practicing scales much easier without sounding too harsh
