I am about to order my second set of superflexibles. I play a 1950s Kay - mostly bluegrass and some bowing. I have no complaints at all. The strings are big and boomy - high stings are right on. And they last a long time. This is bad, but these strings are three + years old and are really just losing the crisp tonality. Anyway... A 5 star from me.

Thomastik Superflexibles are what i have presently on my Boosey & Hawkes 3/4 Upright, i like them because they are so easy to work with. They bow so easily which is what i require at the moment. Pizzicatto is okay, not as good as the Euronsonics i had on my bass but okay. I would say the superflexibles are a good all round string at a good price too.
