O.K. well I tried out the bottom two Corelli 370M's in a chamber music setting, and I must say not only do they offer plenty of low end power but they also are very easy to stop.

It is definitely a relevation for me and I think it will also be relevatory to other thicker-tighter-string-with-more-boom-than-definition believers. The top strings, though...they didn't have near as much power and I used the Neher Permanent option to cover that end. The Permanents worked great, but most other heavier strings like Flexocore would have worked fine also I think.

Anyway, if (o.k., when LOL) I go back to the 4ths tuning setup I will go with the 370M's on the bottom no questions asked. If only Corelli made a low C string that sounded anywhere near as good...sorry, the low C Corelli string is overpriced and a big let down compared to, say, spiro or helicore...but the 360 F# tuned to G is a great hybrid string IMO!
