Mandofriends I need your advice:
When I bought my Flatiron F (Performer) 2nd hand in England
a couple of years ago I was particularly caught by its warm and soft sound (no choppy bluegrass sound, more a little bit folky, like David Grisman's F4 in "The prisoner's waltz " on "Tone Poems I" ). After a while I had to remove the strings, and since then the particular warmth has disappeared, I have tried Martin, GHS, John Pearse, They all sound nicely , bit a little bit too crisp for my taste.
Do you have an idea which strings might meet my expectation of sound.
Kind regards from Germany
