Ground Wounds and Half Rounds.

Recommended Posts

So I used to buy Ground Wound strings and was very happy with them. Now I can only get Half Rounds. I'm not happy with them. Many places (on the interweb) say they're the same thing, but one place says that, while Ground wounds are ground Round Wounds, Half Rounds have an oval shaped winding.
Is this so?
Does anyone work for a string company?
Where might I purchase proper Ground Round Wound strings?
Thanks , M.

Thanks. Not too keen on the D'Addario halfwounds. Not ground quite enough for me. May try the pressure wounds. Have you tried them?
