Aranjuez 600 - 6th string (E) .044

I just got an alto guitar and was getting lost with my thumb amid all those new bass strings. So, I decided to get brass wound strings for 7-11. It makes a big difference being able to easily see where the extended bass range begins. The tone is nice, too. I'd say they have a mellower tone than the Savarez 520 basses that I had on before. I wish they came in thicker gauges, but for training they will do just fine. It's great that Strings by Mail has all these options for an eclectic player like me. I love the customer service, too. The handwritten notes on the packing slips feel very special.
