cheap piano-like strings

I would like to try a string with the piano-like clarity and growl people speak of. I don't wanna spend a lot of money so keep it as cheap as possible. I'm also very picky about consistence throughout each string.

ken smith taper cores or GHS contact cores -- either in stainless.

With your caveat of "as cheap as possible," I'm not sure how successful you'll be in your quest. When you're ready to spend the money, Circle K Strings (specifically their balanced sets) are probably the best you'll find for what you want.

Try D'addario Pro Steels. I used them on my Carvins, and they definitely fit the bill of "piano like tone".

Dean Markley SR2000s. Absolutely piano-like.
