tight strings?

Sign in to disble this ad
what are some strings that are naturally tight? I'm staring to like strings that bend less, not because i don't like bending - i do it all the time - but i think with tighter strings i could pull them more quickly and the would create less buzz. So, any suggestions?

Stainless seem a little tighter then nickel alot of the time to me. Also thicker gauges are worth checking out too.

IME and IMO, Fodera strings always seemed to be a little stiffer than most other brands at the same pitch.

So far in my travels, the Sadowsky black label SS stings have been the stiffest string so far.
