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 pizz at more than a lazy pace, and the E string in particular seems to roll under the fingers. I have ordered a set of Evah Pirazzi weichs from Gollihur's, in no small part on the strength of positive reviews here, not least from our fearless leader himself. Spiro weichs would be another safe bet, but I have those on my EUB, and thought I might as well try something different; they're about the same price.
