Features & Benefits of Cobalt Flatwound

• Flatwound feel = smooth and quiet under the fingers, ideal for jazz, Motown-style grooves, or R&B.

• Cobalt alloy wrap gives stronger magnetic response → more output, clarity, and richer harmonic content than classic flats. ([turn0search0], [turn0search8])

• Ernie Ball calls these the first flatwound strings that feel like a flat but sound like a round. ([turn0search8])

• Available in various gauges: Extra Slinky, Super Slinky, Hybrid, Regular, Power. You picked Regular Slinky, which is the standard, balanced option. ([turn0search1])
