    Several months ago I was advised to test them on our Selena pedal

    What are the strings made of? Are they natural gut or some sore of synthetic or carbon fiber? I would like to see how many pounds of tension one of these strings exerts as compared to the same gut string, or even nylon for that matter. If the tension is much higher than gut than it could do a lot of damage to the instrument. That’s the problem I have with the Savarez carbon fiber strings.

    Either gut or carbon, by request. I used natural gut for all instrument from bass, for next 5 harps I’ll try to use carbon trebles.

    Bernd Kuerschner calculates the tensions up to your request and/or measures. So, he works individually: the tension we have went out more balanced and delicate in range, meanwhile the Bow Brand we previously had is standart and didn’t fit on 100%. It takes slightly more time (about 2 weeks for big orders), but it worth. As a player, I must say that they are much more plesant to the fingers and have nicer respond to the touch.
