Dunlop flats

[Jono Bolton]

I bought a set of these from guitar guitar earlier in the year, and they're great, but I bought another set a month or so ago and they feel a lot stiffer to play. The first set I bought had some sort of coating over the silks, whereas the second set doesn't, which leads me to believe that the first set are newer and the second set are older stock. As the packages are sealed, is there a way to tell what you're getting?

I'm a big fan of Dunlop flats I've never known them to be particularly stiff. Could quite possibly be old ones.

I've only had nice ones!
