More standby mode.

Compulsory compliance is mundane. There can be no release without tension of course. That's why things are more interesting with some dissonance and contrarianism. Ok maybe that statement  doesn't apply solely to string construction.

Some core wires are larger than others. And more rigid.

Roundwound inherent abrasion is not for everyone, some prefer the silky feel of flatwounds, others want coated action with their strings.

That depends on whether or not you play with a light or heavy touch. Stainless round windings are like little files. They can cause major owies. Best not to fret about it too much.

I don't like the feel of coated action, but it prevents unplanned accidents.

There are also those of us with such lousy left-hand technique that when playing roundwounds, about every other time we move our hand, an obnoxious "zing" sound comes from the fingers moving across the rounds. Using flats solves this problem. If you have it. I'm just sayin'.

I like it flat and smooth on an average basis, but from time to time that 'ribbed and rough' feeling is just in Place - but With the risk of getting sore if you play too hard. It leaves you comfortably numb, so to speak.

Some people - even famous ones - say steaming your strings regularly helps. I guess that is hardcore advice.

Steaming clams?

Steaming strings?

There's a certain symmetry there.  :rolleyes:

I wasn't alluding to that at all.  :-X

I hate that adolescent locker room innuendo some threads here are drenched with.  :-\

I am shocked, SHOCKED to witness this adolescent locker room innuendo. 

Especially when I don't start it.

Just to refret more often.
