I am not so sure that's the direction with these. I think it was made to compete with the Belcantos. They are not as heavy in tension, gauge or tone as the Bel's are in my opinion but the slightly looser tension allows the bass to breathe more which brings out a wider spectrum of tone. I like them, bow or fingers.
