From the Wall: D'Addario ECB81 Flatwounds
The ECB81 is D'Addario's XL Chromes set: a stainless steel flat ribbon wound over interlocking under-windings on a high-carbon steel core, then polished. D'Addario describes it as mellower than a roundwound, dark and warm, with no finger noise, and its tension chart puts the 45-100 gauges at 47.0 lbs on the G, 53.9 on the D, 45.7 on the A and 40.3 on the E. It's the one flatwound set on our wall, for a long-scale four-string, at $49.99: D'Addario ECB81 XL Chromes. Check the listing to see whether it's still here.
