RE: La Bella with yellow sticker (in reply to gounaro)
820B sets I got with my order of 820 reds were NOT like the old ones and NOT like the reds. The trebels were bumpy or wound like bass strings, not sure if "rectified" is the term, but not the same as the old ones, nor as the reds ie smooth and shiny black. THe package however did NOT have the yellow sticker, but the reds did. So My guess is 820B with no sticker also no good. Still waiting to hear about it. THe normal 820 with yellow sticker do infact sound and feel great and normal.

The yellow sticker simply means that the strings are hand-rolled and packed by children in asia.
also polished with a special gel extracted from the urine of an Amazonian Butterfly....
Matt from SBM sent the package this morning there was a delay getting the 'new improved trebles' will let you know if any issue when the strings arrive [about 10 days to hit Australia... have no reason to doubt SBM...always a great service...

I strung up with the 820 reds with the sticker (from SBM). The sound and intonation are great. This is the first time I've tried the reds, I'm not sure I'd be able to hear a difference with the blacks. I've always liked how the 820's feel.
