New from Labella, exclusively at Jazzmando.com: LABELLA JM-11 JAZZMANDO STRINGS!

I would never sell short the purity of tone and impeccable engineering of the the Thomastik TI strings. Yet, if there were any consistent criticism of the Ti's it would be price and projection. JazzMando has had the opportunity to work with Labella strings to present a specifically "Jazz" designed string. Strung low and light, their flatwound steel strings are the answer to a Maiden's Prayer for the player who plays in closed position more than open strings, as in Jazz, Swing, Classical, and Choro music.

These polished Flatwound have a much closer, tighter wrap which resists corrosion and wear from oxidation and player perspiration. The steel alloys lends a crisp "punch" for a "bell-like" attack and articulation. Player comfort from the smooth strings makes these feel as great as they sound!
