I don't know anything about the Superflexibles, but they're generally similar to Spiros but maybe a bit more friendly to the bow (so I've been told)?
Either way, both are cheap low Bs: in the $40-45 range, vs $65+ for anything by Pirastro. Last edited by Jeff Moote; 07-18-2007 at 09:48 PM.

I'm using a Sprocore for a low B/C. It seems to speak more clearly. My second place choice would be the Helicore Hybrid. (It actually responds better than the orchestral gauge). I have tried the Superflexible in the past and did not like it. It was extremely thick and there was little definition to the pitch. It also didn't bow much different than a spirocore. Hope that helps.

I just put on the Spiro low C - it bows well, so I'm pleased. I have no reference except from these notes as produced by an extension E/C and they sound pretty similar, if not bigger, so as far as I'm concerned it's good. There might be better, but for now I'll stick with the Spiro...

I used to use Jazzers on B and E on my Kolstein Fendt, and they were surprisingly good. I liked the Spirocores even better. I'm not sure which way I'm going to go on my new 5-string, but I'm dying to try the Evah Pirazzi B.

ok.. so..
Does anyone have an old usable 'B' they could send my way to cut down on testing costs? Spiro, Superflexable, Permanent? Something?
