Has anyone out there had much experience with the schraffed bass strings from Mapes? I just put a set on a lovely Bosendorfer 200, and found that at least 4 of the new strings are dead as a doornail. All 4 are in the lower bass, which leads me to wonder if perhaps I'm twisting the strings too much. I twisted them as I would a normal set of bass strings, ie, 1 full turn on the bichords and one half turn on the monochords. Do the schraffed strings want less twist than normal ones?
