Stan,

I use Permanents on my A and Low-C. They sound really good on my instrument. I have a very dark sounding bass, so they work well. The Low C is the best I have tried. The C just jumps off the bass!

I have Bel Canto G, and a Jargar Forte D. (Which I will probably switch out for a Bel Canto...) I don't really think I would like the Permanent G or D... but that would be too bright for my top strings...

The thing with the Permanents is, they start out like spirocores but then they darken in color. You have to be patient.

If you really want a "penetrating" sound, and you are playing a lot of solo rep, have you considered Corellis?

Brian
