Had these strings bought my Yamaha Standard vote on E. At the first order the H string was unplayable. Absolutely strange 2stimmiger sound. Definitely a broken string. Sent back, get another. Everything was OK, but the sound is not at all times. Sound was: Stumpf, not clear sounded like ne dirt-cheap ukulele Now have the original strings pulled back on it and am now living with a rather good sounding A mood.
