I just edited the Post above because I found out two things since posting. One, these were an older design made while they were being developed and two, I was told that the 'G' should not have been a different color. Either these were an experimental set or they were mis-packaged somewhere along the line.

Currently I am waiting for a new set to come in with a C-Ext string and give them another try. Some many people love these Velvets and even I like how they sound when hearing someone else play a few feet away. I just didn't like that old set I tried under my ear and fingers. I am keeping an open mind and will be trying them most likely on my Martini
