I ask Jesse Blue (who is a really cool guy) and he told me that the strings are similar to the helicores, but this are chinesse or something like that (sorry but i dont remember very well) , but i feel the tension really hard, i try one of the NS EUB at a music store, and they play like butter, so i was wondering in buying a solo set, that you have to tune a whole step higher (F #, B, E, A), and tune that to normal tunning, so that the strings be a little easier on my fingers; does anybody did that ? Also i got a violin bow for 15 usd, and it works for me now. Thanks.
