Carvin Flatwounds?

[nonfatmatt]

I've searched high and low on the forums for these but I can't find them anywhere. Carvin, it seems, makes a set of flats -> https://www.carvin20.com/products/si...p?product=FW50 - I was wondering if anyone had actually tried these because I can't find information on them anywhere, not even gauge. Also, their other strings seem to be made by LaBella, so I'm thinking these might be the deep talkin' flats just repackaged.

LaBella makes all Carvin strings including these, if that is any help for you.

hm.. never tried their flats.

Their rounds are top notch, though. Last just as long as DR's, sound good, feel nice.


and for about 20 bux a pack, why look anywhere else?

I tried them. Good strings, basically just lower tension version of the LaBella flats.

I don't know if its a psychosomatic thing or not but I prefer the sound of the LaBella's more than the Carvins...

I have a set on my Carvin 5 string. Great strings at a great price.

They are made by labella. I had one set on my Carvin 4 strings fretless and they are good flat. If you like flat I say you have to try them.

What gauge are the flats? I couldnt find any info on the page.
