The dr winding has an unusual quality to it where the strings are flexy but it s easy for your fingers to get purchase on them. Similar to the hi beams smoother and fatter.

The extra effort dr expends making hi beams results in a bass string that is highly flexible and musically but not harshly bright. Anyways if you re looking to get a bright tone without sacrificing the warmth of the sunbeams get the fat beams.
