I recall talking to Julian Bream after a concert 25 years ago, and I asked what brand of strings he uses. He replied, "I use fishing line".
Actually, Toyohiko Satoh was the first tot use carbon strings in or around 1986. They were brought to his attention, in that it came on spools & it was a form of fishing line, made in Japan. I think the brand name was Seaguar. ed At 10:30 AM 10/28/2005 -0500, Herbert Ward wrote: > > It should be noted that the momofiliment for nylon strings is > > not being made exclusively for instrument strings.
