Labella LTF

[Mr Ralph]

Hello All,
Just purchased as set of labella LTF-5 on Amazon. Want to make sure they are not Counterfeit.
1)They did not come with the little dice on the ends by the ball
2) The ball ends are colored instead of Brass like my other set on my Ric. Did they change this?
3) They were in a plastic bag with a Labella LTF-5 liner no envelopes.
Anyone bought these lately and can verify these changes?

Thanks

Sounds like they're legit. I think they stopped doing the dice thing a while ago. Also, the ball ends should be colored red-white-blue-gold. Sealed plastic bag sounds right as well.

Thanks Michael,
They measure 37” from ball end to silk like they are supposed to and the color and feel seem right. Just had not seen that packaging before. I guess everyone is trying to find away and save a little to not raise prices which is fine. I normally do not buy strings on Amazon but I had a gift card to use.
Thanks again

I bought of the last sets of LaBellas with plain ball ends and that was mid-2022

Yup - that’s how they come now.
