Carvin Flatwound Strings

[ambient]

Anyone tried them ?

What's the tension and tone like on them ?

I want something quite flexible and reasonably bright. I'm using Status flats at the moment.

Are these the ones that are made by La Bella..?

Are you not finding the Status strings bright enough?

I'm hooked on their half rounds 40-100.
I have often wondered whether they are made by Elites?

Can't help with the Carvins I'm afraid.
If I had piles of disposable cash I'd be looking to try TI jazz flats for exactly their flexibility and highs contained in the core tone.

They're Status flats I'm using.

TI flats would be great, I'm put off by the price and the size of the B string though, it's a wapping 136 or something.

Yep, they're the made by LaBella ones.
