Flat wound vs round wound strings

[PamPurrs]

@PeteP

Of course, once I’m playing with more confidence & competence, I will make the string choice to suit the sound I’m after, but for now I just want it to be a little easier to make prettier sounds.

I agree 100%. Right now I want to focus on learning to play the instrument with as little effort as possible, and without the distraction of residual sounds from the strings and soreness on my fingertips. I can always go back to round wounds if and when I feel the time is right.
