Thomastick-Infeld Nylon Strings

Anyone use Thomastik-Infeld CR127 Classic N Series Superlona Classical Guitar Strings - Light strings before?

I use their flatwound jazz strings on my archtop and love them.

Going to get some CF127s tomorrow. I'll probably get the roundwound set as well just in case the flatwounds don't work out. Got a 9hr road trip tomorrow to pick up a new guitar!

Just put on the flatwound set and I hate to do it, but they’re coming off. They sort of have that cool upright bass sound—dull and slap-like, but it just doesn’t work for the song I’m writing. Everything I like about the sound of the bass strings (clarity) is missing with flatwounds. Off with the CF127s and on with CR127s. Had to give them a try though.
