Smooth SS strings?
Sign in to disble this ad
I wanna try an SS set that's smoother to the touch and and less raspy/zingy if such a thing exists. I gather DR Lo-Rider and Fodera might be worth trying. Any others? CircleK have piqued my interest as well while they're not pure SS my experience with the nickel-iron alloys have been favorable but are they any smoother?

SIT Powersteels. I have a set on mine that are definitely not as bright as Prosteels or HBs, and are smoother to the touch.
