La Bella Strings - Your Thoughts?

[StoneWaller]

If you try Galli Jazz Tapes you might like them better.The Labella jazz Tapes i found to be too rubberband like.The Galli's are a little stiffer but still give you all the qualities of Labella.

Whoa, 2012. Impressive revival.

Is it correct that the Galli tapes have a wrapped E and B? Curious to as how those would sound/feel.

I have a set of the 14 Labellas that once in a while I put on and take off fairly quickly (dab of clear nail polish on the silk wrap prior to cutting and they're seemingly indestructible) Sounds silly but the black color and lack of contrast against the fretboard mess with my astigmatism, making a murky, blurry mess. Still gotta look. Maybe all 6 black would help. Other than that they sound and feel nice.

The steel flats are great. Smooth, lots of woody thunk on my 175. However I play for myself/by myself and I'm realizing the sustain and richness of rounds seem to carry my fledgling chord melody efforts a little better at the low volumes.

According to their website, Black Nylon Strings have plain steel E & B strings.

Galli Tapes come with 2 steel and two nylon wrapped b and e in the pack.The nylon ones feel nice and seem a little less bright than the steel.

That wasn't the case with the ones i bought about 2 years ago.There were 2 nylon and 2 steel e and be strings.If that has changed i can't say.

You're correct. The extra strings are plain steel, but the "original" set of 6 are nylon taped. I wonder how these sound and/or feel different.

As i said in the post above,the nylons are a little less bright than the steel to my ears.If you are a fan of nylons tapes,i see no reason why you would not like it on the b and e strings.They are slightly thicker than steel which may require sanding the slots in the nut according to what guitar you put them on.
