I was getting a REALLY 'tinny' (metal) sound from my Reyes copy, and I was really getting bummed. I was using the Savarez Corums, which everyone raves about, but..... I was going to be writing a review on a newer-to-market string from Aquila called 'Alabastro', for Strings By Mail, and posting here, as I see how long they play and wear, etc. So far, a VERY nice string. No more metalic twang on the A & D strings when played 3rd or 4th position. Much more of Spanish, 'woody' sound, rich and full. I'm really liking these......and a good price, too. http://stringsbymail.com/serselect.asp?tCat=1&tMan=43&dMan=Aquila I'm going to try some of the others soon, too... I say always start simple. Change to another string BEFORE shaving saddles, etc., then proceed. R
