Επειδή δε θέλουν όλοι καινούργιες χορδές (εγώ άμα δεν παλιώσουν λίγο δεν τη βρίσκω :) ) παραθέτω και ένα απόσπασμα από το Ted Greene Forums (δε γίνεται με λινκ αν δε γίνετε μέλη) από συζήτηση για τις χορδές που χρησιμοποιούσε ο Ted

Andy, I cannot speak with any authority on this, but while listening to the various lessons with Mark Levy and others, I heard what I thought might be flat wounds as well. In a discussion during one of the lessons though, Ted was remarking how bright a certain guitar (the student's) sounded, and they began talking about that. When the conversation turned to strings and their cost, Ted remarked that he'd had the same set of strings on his guitar for months! He then plucked a string and sure enough, it was so dead sounding, it almost sounded like flat wounds! Of course, then he would begin to play and there was certainly nothing 'dead' about the strings then.
Andy,
Finally, I can give some imput about Ted's gear. We were just buds and would hang not often talking of gear. But, one of the last times I was with Ted were talking about gear. I was looking for a great jazz sound for a certain guitar. During the conversation he told me that he had fallen in love with flatwound strings and thin hollowbody guitars with 2 pickups. I told him that I just couldn't figure out why anyone would need two pickups. Ted goes into his routine, laugh, laugh, great memories.
But, if you knew Ted, he could be in love with vinyl strings next week. He had this huge, huge box of strings. Some of them must have been 30+ years old. I believe Dan Sawyer got that box. Most were round wounds. I even had some wound bronze on my archtops with floating pickups, Ted actually liked that and set up a guitar or two with them.
