But I'm sure they will do the same on the Ovations. I found them to be a little easier on the fingers but I didn't really take to them. Back then my favorite strings were the Diamond Brand. twistedlim Posted 2009-03-03 9:43 AM (#425600 - in reply to #425598) Subject: Re: strings Q's Joined: November 2008 Posts: 1119 Location: Michigan I tried the John Pearce silk bronze and they were OK... the bass seemed a bit muddied. They do not seem to have the ring of phospher bronze but appear somewhat brighter than the martin silk/steel. I have a new favorite though, john pearce slightly light phospher bronze 11-50. The have a full sound and play well. We'll have to try them out for a few weeks to see how the last.
