New Labella “Olinto” Flats
- Thread starter Bass4ThePublic
- Start date
As suggested above, there is already a thread on this that was started a couple of weeks ago. It would be best to keep it all in one place.
Ideally yes, but, as long as *I* am able to keep track of them without too much hassle, I'm good.

My suggestion was for the OP. I know you can dig up just about anything on any topic, but I was thinking more for the rest of us who would rather not be jumping back and forth between threads on the same topic.
Ah, sorry. I tried to do a quick skim and found nothing, mustve slipped my vision, thanks yall.
Just ignore that Michael, can't wait to read your personal experience share on this new olinto flat.
All good, should have em by Monday or TuesdaySorry
Mine is out for delivery today. Not sure where to put it on. I wonder if this is a completely new formula or just rebranded from one of the many La Bella flats. Can't wait to try it.
Here they are! Theyre Labella flats alright. I put them on my MIM P with Duncan Antiquity II's (my FAVORITE vintage repro pickup out today). I cant really say much about them as they're brand new flats and I'm going to have to give these a couple months/years to see how they deaden up. I recorded a demo after work, and compared to the .104 gauge labellas, I like em tension wise! Here is said noodling.
Overall tone sound firmer than LTF4A when fresh.
Heres some more noodling I did with the flats, a mute and my tone hammer.
More specifically, how would you say they compare to the .104 set? I would imagine more pulling-weight tension? But how do they feel?
They feel almost the same. They sound nice now that they’re broken in. A lot of thud yet a lot of definition too. Very nice strings
Would you be up for sharing another audio clip to demonstrate the broken-in sound difference?
