Old Horse Murphy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I just acquired a secondhand 5 String Stingray that's strung with Flatwounds which I rather like. I've used TI's for years but have used La Bellas in the past and these remind me of those as they're very smooth feeling ( a lot smoother than the TI's) and have black silks at both ends. Would anybody be able to help identify them please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Sadowsky Black Label have black silks. Nice strings. I use them on my UV70. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My last LaBella flats had dark grey silk rather than the usual black. I'm don't know if they've changed or if they had an issue with black silk supplies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneFurrow Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Third vote for Dunlops. Black silks and also very smooth-feeling strings so it sounds like they're the ones. I love the 40-120 sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 This is what a short scale set of Dunlop flats look like. Do the silks match yours Nick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 La Bella 760FS have black silks but, I think, only at tuner end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
