Hi there.

I posted on my forum about this but thought I’d ask here too.
I bought some Cobalt Flats in March and they appeared very rusty by mid June. No gigs, just minimal playing at home.
I emailed Stringsandthings (UK distributor) and they sent me a new set. Great. But the new set were rusty in appearance right out of the pack. Both sets sound OK but look rather odd.
So I suppose my question is - is this normal? It’s very disappointing as I like the sound of the strings.
I was under the impression that Cobalt isn’t ferrous but I’ve also read Mr.Ball mention a protective layer on the strings. So which is it? And why are mine rusty?
