Maruszczyk flatwounds. What are they like?
I see Maroooochzeck flats are available nice and cheaply in medium scale and in the gauges I'd like to try (45-105).
Who actually makes them? Whaddathey like? Can you compare them to a summer's day, or more usefully the middly parp of a TI, the nasal boing of a Chrome or the plummy thonk of a La Bella?
Soooo, I bought these. They're good.
First impressions... very smooth and slightly finger-grabby in that La Bella/ Pyramid way, as opposed to glassy like Chromes or satin-fast like GHS. Nice even response, with no dead E. Black silk at both ends is a nice touch.
Pretty firm-tensioned at 45-65-85-105 - easy enough on my 32" Precision, but on a 34" scale they'd probably feel a lot like the La Bella 760FS (same gauges, so no surprise there). In fact in terms of feel, tension and sound –
