Are they $2.00 better than the regular Nanos? I do love the sound of a regular phosphors and this seems like a potentially great product. TIA | ||

I probably don't change my strings often enough- probably can't hear too good, anyway. I like their feel, and they are bright, without being "tinny". Seem pretty consistent in tone, over the past 3 months (told ya!!). My saving grace is my hands are not acidic, & stay dry real well. Probably more than yous'll want to know....... | ||

On topic: The strings are sounding better and better. I know the only way to know is to try them. | ||

Joined: February 2007 Posts: 75 Location: Portland, OR | I just took them off of my 2078.. They were way way too bright.. reminded me of a tin piano. Replaced them with the regular nano's and I'm much happier.. I wonder, is there a differece between the non wound E/B strings on these sets? They look identical... | ||
