Are people actually using Sonores? I contacted the maker for information and he sent me a pair of strings with a bill. I didn't even ask for strings, nor could I afford $800.00 so I sent them back.
I've heard a few people here use them and they sound like Dominants to my ear. Not a very warm, typical gut sound. Many overtones when playing off the string, and fairly scratchy...which I dislike.
