Yeah, anyone interested in getting some Optimas should definitely contact Buco.

I was just surprised, I never heard anyone else using them, outside of circle of friends who got some to try.

😀 Well I may have gotten the idea from you when I saw you posted about them, I almost hit you up.

I read recently somewhere somebody else mentioning them so I tried where I usually get classical strings...not sure what the policy is here & I don't want to put a competitor's link up here but the name of it has Strings and Mail in it. :)

Mods, please delete if that's a no no.

Here's direct into Pro Tools with fake Princeton/Helix Native if anybody

The YT one, the right side has their "Creamback" speaker...less top end. Not Gypsy acoustic tone or at least not with me playing it 😀 but I like the sound for direct non/piezo pretty well.

I like the Creamback slightly better. It has a touch of high end zing that's very pleasant. Total jazz box feel.

Thanks, I like it better also, the chords on the left had the stock speaker that come with the Helix Princeton, a little brighter.

You got any Optima 10 sets, the place I bought at only has 11s. I'd like to try their 10s.

Buco

I do have 10s, yes.

Mondoslug

I found you on Reverb.

Well here's some more stuff with the Krivo if you can brave the FB!
