| Hi Harry,
I tested the brushes today. The belly is way too high making the brush too soft. This makes it hold paint off the tip and end up with a stroke that's too wide. It's almost like a watercolor brush with the tip cut off. As you can see in these Langnickel brushes there is no belly. I think long hairs have to be #5 Kalish, and #4 Langnickel, are the same sizes, also #2 and #3.

| This set of round ferrule, flat ends are the most used brushes I have. The top one is a "Shortie Series",
I wore out the others in the Shortie Series. The "Fabulous 55" was a great brush also. 6-29-2006, Kalish Finest Brushes.
