ok guys, i need to order some aoud strings, what do you recommend, the d'addario j95, or the pyramid orange/red/yellow envelope aoud strings? by the way wats the difference between the orange, red and yellow envelope?

Merc,

I use pyramids, orange pack. I think the difference b/w orange and red is that reds might be a little thicker strings. I haven't tried D'Addarios, but maybe somebody else has and can give some feedback. I personally like the pyramids over the La Bellas and the Thomastik strings that I have tried.

Good luck,
Mike
