Thanks, LHG..I've been string shopping too.
I can't find the brand I prefer anymore and would not have tried Martin strings again if I hadn't read of your enchantment.

General string question:
Is there something on the packages of strings that sort of shows a 'bright vs warm' rating or some-such? I generally end up playing a set until they start being fully dead because I truly dislike the 'bright' sound of new strings.

Thanks,
Melissa
