| | | | EP on my 50s Pöllmann.
BE-Spiro mittel (3/4 length) ADG- Spiro mittel (4/4 length) on my 100+ years old Fivestring. The stringlength is 108cm. the 3/4 strings give me more tension. i guess it is similar to using 4/4 stark-E-string. is anyone else playing this mix??? |

Guts.
Velvets on the other bass. New Garbos, not installed, in the bass bag. |

Late 1800's Tyrolean is currently strung with Spirocore Weich. |
