Re: [HG] Strings

Oh Collin, this could be an question that is answered in 200 different ways. So, first start by telling us what you have now, whether you play gut or nylon or metal, what sound you like and if you use wound strings on the melody. Basically it is best to list what you have and the answers will follow.       Although, this is not the definitive list of strings and various players say "I like this or that string or size" it will work as a guide. http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/1045/strings/strings.html       I personally use a .97 on the melody for the G and a 1.04 on the trompette both natural gut. I have not yet had a need to replace the heavier drone strings so I am not much help there. Keep in mind that the core of the larger drones is something that you need to keep in mind as well not just the overall diameter.      That should make it easy......right. Sorry I couldn't make it easier. For direct questions I differ to the Mathematical genius of Alden for the hard questions.      Scott
