I forgot how much Spirocore tungstens need to break in
It’s been a hot minute since I got new strings (oops) and I had totally forgotten how harsh spirocore tungsten G and C are for the first few days or so. They were so tinny/twangy, and only after a few hours of playing are they finally mostly responding like I expect them to. The larsen mediums were pretty much fine from the get-go, fortunately!
I was even starting to think that maybe they had changed the composition without my realizing and that I needed a better bow or something…if the same thing happens to you, just keep playing and it’ll get better!
