Thanks guys.
Thomastick flat wounds are on order and due to arrive next week. I really hope these strings will be "all that" for her because they ain't cheap and it'll be an expensive error if they don't make it.
But I'm pretty sure they will work because several years ago I played a Pedulla Buzz 5 and a Turner Renaissance fret less 5 that were both set up with Thomasticks and I liked the strings better than the instruments - !
Since the Alembic is far superior to either of them, these strings should work out nicely.
