I see no reason for apology and no problem with rehashing a previously covered topic pulled from the archives. This happens repeatedly with strings and picks at nauseam for some or sparks memory for others. i.e. I have a new Stiver on order and find it difficult to contain my eagerness to receive it in the spring of 2020. In my excitement I have already a new strap, arm rest, and Tomasik strings on order for a mandolin that I will not have for 6 or 7 months. I have never tried Tomasik strings on any mandolin. I know they have been discussed here many times which I have tried to research. But, I have not learned all that I am curious about Tomasik strings. I may wake one morning and post with the hope of someone weighing in on having used them on a Stiver, expressing their feelings on volume, lack of suitability for particular genres of music, or whatever they may have to offer.
We as readers are given the choice of reading or passing up any new post that that does or does not grab us. Your post on DR strings, in fact did spark my memory on DR strings which I never before thought to try but will now get a set to try.
