Does anybody have the old version of the Aquila red strings that they're willing to let go of? The version I'm looking for has a papery feel to them and is a bright red color. I bought a few packs not knowing that the new version is different. The newer ones don't have that papery feel and the red color is duller and more of a red-brown. I prefer the texture of the old ones and they sound brighter, which works very well for this one particular soprano I have.

I can't seem to find the old version anywhere. It's probably a long shot but I figured I'd ask.
 
You can also try to email strings by mail and strings and beyond and ask for old stock if they still have it. I did the reverse and asked to get the newer stock
 
I think the Carbonblacks--also no longer available--are much the same as the old Reds. If you find that they are, and want two packs of sopranos, let me know. I have a pack of concert Reds dated 4/18. I don't know what that makes them, but if old, I'd sell them.
 
The ones I have are dated 2015 so I'm looking for older than that.
