12850bd -> La bella 820b strings variable performance (Oct. 16 2024 6:00:48)

I have had mixed results after using these strings. I have been using them for 6 months on a student 1974 Conde entrance model that I use for busking. The sound is excellent well balanced and good volume and very flamenco. This week I was changing the strings on my 2015 Conde FC28 . I usually use Luthier 20 on this guitar which is way better than the student Conde . I decided to try the 820b black strings because I liked the character of them.
However a total disappointment....No volume or balance..the trebles are nearly inaudible compared to the base and the tone sounds like I used fishing line. Has anyone else found the result of using 820b to be inconsistent ?

Same on my Sanchis compared to about every other guitar. I feel it is the tension, which on that guitar is a bit lower due to the action also being lower. Only Luther 20 or higher tension works on that guitar. It is a bit strange but, again I feel it is the set up. But the back and sides are maple, which I feel is similar to port orford which responded well to the La Bella.

At some point, some years back, I got a set of the 820b from a shop in Europe. It was one of the worst sets I have ever played. The trebles sounded completely lifeless and muted. After some years I got the 820b from strings by mail, and it was amazing. The difference was day and night. I thought that the first one from Europe might be a bad batch or a counterfeit.
