D'adario helicore pizz and the eternal quest

[Eric Hochberg]

I've used many sets of these in the past (hybrids also). I used to be an endorser. I think they are D'Addario's answer to Spiros. They come in 3 gauges, so lights would correspond to weichs, etc.

If you got a good set, they can be fine. My problem with them was the number of sets I had with a funky string here and there, inconsistency. I haven't used them for a while so I have no info on the current runs, but I never felt they were at the same quality level as Thomastiks. They are also a lot less money, so if you like them, that's a good thing.
