Dear All,
I have been using these KF strings for some years. The smallest
diameter is .95mm, but this is the equivalent of a gut string of about
1.07mm. The one I use is KF95A, but I think the A just refers to
the fact that it is a 2m length. It works well as a 5th course on a

Sounds suspiciously similar to KFG. (So-called Karbon FIbre Gut?) I

Used those for years - they last forever... Never noticed any
