Hello,
At the moment, I play roundwound strings, 011, plain 3rd, but considering flats.
I was wondering if there's a difference between the plain roundwound trebles
and the flatwound trebles.
To put it in another way: will changing from rounds to flats change the tone of the trebles?
I should think not as they are all plain.
greetings,
Stefaan

Flat unwound strings would cut your fingers to shreds.

Ok thanks everyone, for the moment I'll stick to RW.
Having used the D'addario 011 pure nickel, I'll try now the Thomastik bebop 012.
