my cello has daddario helicores.
i would never dream of stringing one of my instruments with ernie balls they sound like a two week old pack of daddarios. I have just switched to DRs on the one paul, and I am thinking about trying the 11s. The DR 10s, to me, feel like 10s under your fingertips, but bend as easily as 9s. So if the 11s feel like 11s and bend like 10s, I'm goolden.

That's kind of the point. It saves me from having to wait two weeks for the strings to start sounding good.
phyrexia said:sh!t, I change strings more often than that if i'm playing the thing with any frequency. 10 days or so.
I don't even want to think about what EB's would sound like after two weeks. Would you hear them at all or would they become so dull and thuddy as to become inaudible? :lol:

Yes. Like I said, I like them a little dead sounding and they never rust on me, so I usually leave them on until I break a string, at which point I'll change the whole set.
I tried using nickel strings for awhile but they'd get a little too dead sounding after about a week.
