Damian's strings are the best in reference to its quality and art. Making strings by hand is a special art and it produces a special sound.

Standard Chordas are very good strings but my experience is also that they are too heavy - in particuar the D and E. Since Carlos has noted the specs of diameters which he feels are ideal, will Pirastro perhaps make that set available to the public? Otherwise the only way to buy particular guages is to go to the hand made artist strings such as DD and Gamut?
