Half Round Strings are the Best!

I've been using the D'Addario 71 series Half Rounds for decades. They have a mellow sound, not overly trebly but brighter than flat or ribbon wound strings, and are easy on your fingers and frets. I strongly recommend them.

Half-Round Experiment

I prefer flatwound strings and bought a new 5-string. I bought the D'Addario half-rounds as an experiment.

How do the strings sound? They sound like bass strings. (I'm a hobbyist, not a professional.)

There is no string-squeak when I do slides. (Nice!)

If someone is used to round-wound strings and wanted to try flatwound or half-round, then I would recommend these strings.

However, I love flatwounds best.

Fantastic - best of both worlds

These strings give you the easy and quieter slide action of flat-wounds, while still retaining some (enough) of the grip that regular would strings have. It's a great feel/action, they have a slightly darker tone than regular-wound strings but I like it.
