Different strings and ideas!?

Sign in to disble this ad
i know there are stainless steel strings (which is a lie, mustard stains everything), nickel strings, phospher bronze, and gold coated (which i believe is just pyrite).

i was wondering if any one made or makes strings using cobalt?

is there a company that makes strings that is just a core and has a nylon wrap?

if there is no one who makes these i will make them myself and post videos so everyone can hear the sounds they make.

Bongo and I are both being extremely facetious.

For the record, a human touching raw cesium would cause an explosion. It is highly reactive. Don't even attempt to make strings with it.
