Are Spirocore Solo's (yours, or in general) the same as Superflexible Solo's? Or are they of the same family as Mittels & Weichs?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks,
Paul  | Spirocore and Superflexible are two differently constructed string families.
Spirocore comes in Stark, Mittel, Weich and Solo gauges, Superflexible comes in Mittel and Solo. |

Thanks heaps

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Sydney, Australia | | Hmm, interesting. My Superflex Solo's are red ball, yellow tail, although I suspect New (very) Old Stock as the packaging was the old monochrome style with German script all over them (as opposed to the more more modern style colourful packaging). Modern Superflex Solo's also list as having blue silks at the ball end. I'm guessing that Thomastik changed the silks at some stage? (Or maybe the recipe; might I have what are now Spirocore Solo's?)

Jake, thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Paul
