The Martin Magnifico strings sound very gut-like to my ears.
I now want to investigate the Aquilla string line, to see if any of their offerings are similar to the Magnificos, chiefly because Aquilla offers partial sets, and the bass strings always need replacing more often than the trebles.

I'll definitely give these a try soon.
The Rubinos only come in one tension, but the Magnificos come in two tensions. Which tension is most like the Rubinos?
