Ok, so this morning I re-strung my Mainland Mahogany Concert with Worth Browns (mediums). I have always been an Aquila person, and this is the first time i've tried them.
Comments:
1. A pig to string compared to aquilas. Aquila, because they are rougher tend to "bite" better at the saddle and post, and dont need knotting. As they are less slippery, they are quicker to put on in my view. These took me twice as long as usual!
2. Sound - not convinced - the volume of my instrument has noticeable dropped - sounds a bit too mellow for my ears. My Mainland with aquilas used to be on a par, volume wise, with my Flea with aquilas - now the Flea is much louder.
3. I'm getting a bit of a buzz on the A string which is annoying - presumably due to extra tension.
Any comments - people speak so highly of worths, but these sound a bit muddy and muffled to me - do they improve?
