joescartwright Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've heard a bunch of good things about Belcantos but I think that the tension might be too much for me (I'm used to Velvet blues which have a few kilos less tension per string). Has anyone had any experience with tuning the Solo set of strings to standard pitch? If so how did it sound/feel? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiipopes Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Velvet Blues have about 25 kg tension per string. Bel Cantos only have about 28 to 29 kg tension per string. With a good setup, that should not be noticeable, or just barely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlittle Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I recently tried Belcantos and found them way too taut. I usually play Thomastik Weichs though which are very light. I wanted something that bowed better but it all felt too much like hard work with the Belcantos. Back on the old Weichs now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatgoogle Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Belcanato's have been the lightest string I've used..... There not a high tension string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
