Good thumpy stuff
superklamp 10.06.2025
Wanted to try these to see whether the extra 10, 15, sometimes 20€ other manufacturers charge for their sets of flatwounds really makes a big difference. Honestly, can't feel much of a difference (though I'm not really the picky type).

These Höfner strings are wonderful, nice and warm, as thumpy as you like on attack but able to ring out nice and clear for quite some time if you let them.

Don't know yet how long they'll last, it's only been a couple of weeks but they seem solid and I don't think they'll need changing anytime soon (if ever). They're flats :)

Excellent value for money, get yourself a pair!

Look and sound amazing

These strings produce a nice warm vintage sound, and also feel nicer to play. They sound buttery and last for ages without having to replace them.
