Tapewounds: Rotosound vs. Labella/Carvin

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey Guys,
I have recently become a big fan of Rotosound's tapewound strings and am very satisfied with both the feel and the tone. However, I would also like to try the Labella/Carvin Tapes as well just out of curiosity and because they are quite a bit cheaper then the Rotos when ordered through Carvin.

Can anyone who has played both of these sets of tapes weight in on some of the differences and/or similarities between the two?

Thanks
