I'm still playing the strings that came with my Black Tiger. They are going on 5 weeks. I just ordered 2 sets of medium taper core from you today because my local music store doesn't carry your strings. These strings are just getting to the point of having that *sweet sound* between brand new and when they start to die off and lose their tone.
I'm curious how long these string will hold that sound.
I always change my strings when they start to lose their tone and ability to sustain a note. That's usually right before the feel of the string gets annoying.
