Hey, bought a set of chromes for my fretless today. And they are coloring my fingers black/darkblue.

Why?, what is it?
Shall I wipe the strings?

BTW, Good sounding anyway

In that case, a piece of paper is also alergic...

I do not understand this.

If I wipe the string with a piece of paper, it becomes blue too.

I've had this happen with Chromes before (and LaBellas, too). It's just dust from the grinding/polishing process. You can certainly wipe the strings down, but it will all wear off before too long. Nothing to worry about.

Yep, this happens. It seemed even more so from the TI jazz flats I've used. Just run a string cleaner over them after you put them on, you should be good to go.

Or, eventually it will just stop happening anyway. Enjoy!
