I'm enjoying them. They are well and truly settled in (and have been for some time, I should point out). I think they're a great all-round string, and I won't be changing them in the foreseeable...

I've just installed a set of EP weichs on my Christopher carved flatback. Right out of the pack, I like them. They are pretty loud pizz, perhaps not as much as Spiro weichs, but I think that's as...

I'm feeling you, brother. Are we not men? If we are cut, do we not bleed? If we have ears, do we not like to hear more than 3 chords?

Richard has very kindly provided me with some stiffer strings while I await the arrival of the Evah weichs -- alongside the flabby E string, it now has Corelli 370 TX forte (I believe that's the...

I'd be interested to hear how they "develop" -- I thought about these strings to replace the Corellis that came on my bass (settled on EP weichs, and am waiting on delivery). I'm sure it's...

Corelli string ID chart

In response to a query I had regarding some of their strings, Savarez sent me a spreadsheet which someone else may also find useful if they come across an old set of Corelli strings or buy a bass...

In case anyone's still paying attention, I've had a response from Savarez -- the strings are indeed 380M. On further examination, I have come to the conclusion that the E string probably isn't...

Hi Bin -- I'm waiting on confirmation from Savarez (?spelling), the makers of Corelli strings, but I believe they're actually 380Ms. They're not awful under the bow, but are way too "flubby" for...

Well, I like it! I find it difficult to describe adequately, having played few basses against which to compare it. I can say it's a lot more like yours than it is like the Stentor, open-sounding...

Yeah! My trumpet is just a Yamaha student model, but I have a 1948 Conn 80A cornet (Bix Biederbecke played this model for a while) which I love. I'm even less good on it than I am on bass, can't...

I can't remember what they look like (except that they're shiney!), but I'll let you know when the bass arrives. It'll be good to compare the feel against the Weichs I have on my EUB. If memory...
