That's another thing I like about Thomastik Infeld Jazz Swing flatwound strings. I can bend the third (wound) string on a set of 10s up a whole step without too much sweat. The T-Is string tension correlates pretty well to their D'Addario round wound counterparts. The 11s start to get pretty stout.

 

D'Addario Chromes' tension generally runs about one string gauge set higher than its corresponding roundwound set.

Thanks! I'll have to give them a try, at some future point! [thumbup]
