Roto Jazz 77 Flats have a bright red silk at the tail end but dont think they have them at the ball. I cant see, its a through body!

Rotos do have red silk at both ends, and TIs do as well. (Not helpful I know!) Now, call me geeky, but I believe that the Rotosounds taper under the silk and the ball end, whereas the TIs don't and are hence thicker at the ball.

Edit: I need to get out more :blush:

aah not the simple answer I was hoping for. They are very nice whatever they are. They are bright red. They have a shiny brass ring at the bridge end but I'm guessing most strings do.

If I had bought it in the UK I would have guessed roto's but it came from Spain. I'll have to do a bit more research and look all these up.

Whatever they are they are very nice.
