I find the nickel rounds too harsh (DRs). and the TI flats are too mellow. What can youse guys suggest? keith_h Advanced Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 209 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2005 - 6:38 am:    You might want to try a ground round wound string. The brand I use is GHS Brite Flats. Most of the other string companies also offer a GRW. They are brighter than flats and quieter than a round wound.

Same idea. richbass939 Senior Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 427 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, October 16, 2005 - 10:01 am:    Yes, D'Addario still sells the half rounds. I started using them 30+ years ago on my Rick and recently got some for my Epics. I really like them. They are about $22-30 depending on where you get them. Rich
