Unusual For DB String to Break??

[Francois Blais]

I got a prototype set of the normal tension Presto Balance strings, directly from Jonas Lohse, about two months ago.
I was just wondering if it was the same string.
These were a steel on steel rope-core design, not the white polymer on rope-core thing.

Eurosonic information is pretty rare online in my experience. Since you're an inside guy, why don't you set us all straight? Maybe then we'll try some, whatever they're called.

Sorry for the late reply. Here's what I know. We are the importer of Eurosonics. I personally have been in contact with Ken Smith, going back and forth to Poland with suggestions, samples, etc., until we arrived at a product Ken was happy with. He is now playing them on his Bisiach bass and says they are the best strings for this bass. These are presently called Eurosonic Orchestra Light and Ken has them in stock for sale. There is more information about them on Ken's forum.
