Hi,
I had those strings from Syria two years ago ... I never tried them because there is no tuning indication written on the string set ...
does anyone know those strings ???

there is 5x2 strings in the set (the low C or D is missing) :
* 2x2 metal wounded for the bass that seem very close to the FF and AA I use at present,
* 3x2 plastic strings for the dd, gg and c'c' strings ? those plastic strings are very thick (as if it was plastic wound) ... thicker than nylon or PVF ... any idea ?

best,

julien
