Hi
Not sure if this makes me a bit odd, but I've found that I prefer strings which have a bit of a 'matte' texture to them, rather than the glossy/smooth ones. I even quite like the slight sound they make when running fingers over them.
For example, I was using some Aquila CarbonBlacks and was loving the matte feel (and the tone for that matter) of them. Just changed to some Martin Fluorocarbon clear and, whilst they sound nice enough, I find them a bit too smooth and 'slippery' to touch. Similarly, the Aquila Reds that I tried were too smooth.
Is it just me?
Anyway, can anyone recommend any others that I might like? Preferably at the warmer-sounding end of the scale.
Thanks
