lownote Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Need to replace flats with all brass balls and black silks top and bottom. The bottom silks are short so they don’t ride up over the saddles. Anyone know what they are? Edited July 3, 2022 by lownote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Dunlop’s possibly 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 I've now found Old Horse Murphy's similar thread. Sorry for duplicate. Unless there's any other strings with black silks both ends it seems I has my answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 They aren’t as popular as dunlops , and I did hear they wasn’t in stock for a long while, so more than likely Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 @Reggaebasstell me if you would, how long are the ball end silks. Are they like 1 1/2 inch long and have to be cut back else they foul the saddles?. Or are they nearer 3/4 inch and don't have that problem? My mystery strings have the latter.

Bunion Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I think the black silks on the Dunlops are short and quite shiny at the ball end Edited July 3, 2022 by Bunion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite worn as they are old so might not be very helpful, but hopefully you can still see the silk on the D string , they are on my Kay/cort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Now bought Dunlops and they're not the same. Pretty sure my old ones were Picato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
