Untapered flatwound B strings

[chilliwilli]

Anyone know of any?

It seems just about every flatwound B string is tapered. I hate tapered strings in general.

I'm thinking that DR's Hibeam flats might be untapered seeing as none of DRs roundwound B strings are tapered.

Almost every flatwound B I've seen is non-tapered. The only tapered flats I've seen at all are the Sadowsky ones.

[chilliwilli]

so can you tell me which brand flats are not tapered then?

labella, sadowsky, and others ive tried were all tapered

[Lokire]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think LaBella and Sadowskys are the only ones making a tapered flatwound B. Someone else should be able to give you a better answer though...

[chilliwilli]

ok thanks ill wait for a sure answer.

I also would love to know the answer to this one. My Jack Casady strung B-E-A-D has a terrible time with the tapered B string (makes a chorusy sound as it seems to light up every harmonic up the frets),

Also DR and Ernie Ball.... just off the top of my head.

LaBella and Sadowsky are the only tapered Bs out there that I know of. (both are made by LaBella ironically)

Carvin probable tapered as well then.
Not sure about their flats but their rounds are made by LaBella.
