Speaking of strings, I've had the pleasure now of using about 6 =
sets of
the Arledge strings & I like them very much. I like the =
neatness of
the wraps etc. But as much as this I find the tone color of the =
scaling a
bit darker thru out but I find it especially refreshing in =
the top
of the bass scales where typically many makers get a bit thin & =
whiny
sounding which I believe is a tension problem.</span></font><font =

I haven't checked but I'd guess at a bit heavier scaling being
employed which, in my limited scaling experience gives a darker =
tone with
more power.</span></font><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span

IE the Old 1920's stwy L scale in the region of notes 20 - 26 were =
