Review: Lovely string with a little more trebble - Go for a guage higher than you normally would. - These are a lovely string and offer a unique tone with a little more trebble than usnal. There are softer than normal, so go for a gauge higher. Fitted to a '77 Les Paul.
Review: Great stings but- - For those unaware of half round strings, D'addario winds these with round wire, but then grinds the surface smooth. The result is a string that still has much of the brightness of round wounds, but with the smoothness to touch of flatwounds. Although I haven't got round to using my eleven top half round strings, previous experience of half rounds tells me that I should have enjoyed these strings but there was a problem. Back in the seventies when I first discovered half rounds, I was advised that I should actually go down a set in gauge and back then this is what I did. For several years they were my favourite string but for many years they were unobtainable here. Nowadays I play jazz, usually on tapewound strings, 12 top gauge, whatever the brand. Last year and suspecting that I would enjoy half rounds nowadays I bought two sets of 12s. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy them, finding them unresponsive. Remembering that over thirty year old advice to go down a gauge with half rounds, I decided to try a set of 11 tops, but there was a problem since this gauge of half rounds has a plain third. I explained my problem to Daddario who are sending me three .022 wound thirds so that I can use this set and manage with another two sets. That was very kind. When I explained that many players prefer wound thirds, and that a few manufacturers sell sets with a choice of wound and unwound thirds, they told me they would consider issue, which was very nice. The issue of going down a set in gauge is slightly strange because since D'addario nowadays lists the tension of each string, I find that half rounds have a tension that is not significantly greater than other types. I can only assume that the way they are made leads to the use of a thicker core, which leads to a less flexible string. Other than the provisos above, I have found half rounds to be great strings to play- almost as bright as a regular round wound string, but smooth and long lasting. The absence of string squeak is a major bonus.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit of a compromise
*by P***N on 16 July 2024*

I guess I have got used to flat wound strings but thought I'd give these a try. They don't have the smooth feel of flat wound but no-one the less make little noise when sliding along the strings just a less lively feel. A little disappointed that the g string has corrosion marks along it's length. However the price is good.
