Was the design of the standard Dingwall stainless steel long scale strings changed when the package was redesigned?
The string gauges listed on the new black package are different from the gauges on the old white package. (But the individual sleeves inside the new package still display the old gauges.)
I bought a new package many months ago. Just today, I finished my old supply and put on strings from a new-design package for the first time.
I may be experiencing the placebo effect but I think these feel and sound better than I remember the white-package strings were when they were new.
Again, maybe it's my imagination, but they feel a little tighter and "bolder."
Maybe I should just change my strings more often.
