Re: Coated like uncoated choices
Go to the Mapes.com site and check out their options. They feature what they call 'Appalachian Moonshine' which is a light coating on the wrapped strings. It is very thin and works very well. I tried one brand or another when coated strings first come out and did not like them at all. I think they sounded dead and unresponsive. Once I discovered Mapes and tried their mandolin strings I've not used anything else. Mapes is only available on their web site.
They manufacture wire and piano strings.
