Works for me... I hate the feel of flats, so I rarely play them, and they last ages! 😁

I’m the opposite, I love the feel, but hate the sound. They make everything sound clanky to my ears. But, then I’ve only ever really played cheaper flats.

Depends on your definition of affordable. However, it has to be remembered that flats typically last way longer than rounds, so they might even work out cheaper in the long run. With that said, there are some for sale from JLP..

I appreciate your point. Affordable long scale flats, which are perfectly good strings, are available for about 10 to 15 quid. So for something more specialised I suppose I was thinking 15 to 25 ballpark.

Anyway thank you for the info
