    Hello from Italy
    I am a acoustic guitar player and actually have a Yamhaha FS-830 acoustic body shape 000
    Common acoustic string are too bright for jazz.
    What string can I use ?
    - flattops?
    - flatwound like D’Addario chrone or Thomastik swing
    - Thomastik Bebop that are roundwound but have jazzy sound

    Have you some suggests ?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Guido

    Good suggest Hammertone, thanks.
    For price if you look to Galli string they have a price like Thomastik ( 22-25€)but Dogal is very expensive about 45€ !
    My guitar Yamaha fs830 is a folk guitar 000 body
    For a private use not professional, strings cost 45€ are exaggerate , for me .

    Try Monel strings. They're a bit darker, softer attack. a bit more thump.
    Never tried flats on a flat top, but for some reason always thought they're not suited for this type of guitar.
    Maybe I'm wrong. Just try.
