Right -- the winding material is a trade secret, but it's some kind of metal (Krell?), impeccably flat-wound.

I had my old Flexocor '92/Permanent rig set at about 5mm for the G, a bit higher on the C/E and A, and I didn't have to adjust height at all when I switched. These strings play great at metal-string heights.
