It came with 10-38's on it, G and D brass wound, but all too old to use. I decided against the 10-40's so what I have I think is 10-34's. That was all the choice from local stores. Might see about the ones you use for next time, and order them in myself.
I have one of those english made ones here. The pot is 8 inches but there is the metal that holds the skin and then the thick wood ring that it attached to it so the total diameter is 10.25 inches. I have not been able to that one in tune enough to play. Somebody gave it to me and I had it worked on, money wasted. I have spared yall the long story and saga of trying to get one that works. This one I am waiting for, I bought, it is the 4th one I have tried. Its also the 4th one I have paid to get work done on. A fool and their money... They used them in schools here way back and they are everywhere in garages and under the house, etc. All mostly cheap ones with bent necks and wood ring collapsing, because of green wood when made and poor structural design. Imagine how the teacher felt at the end of the day...say 20 - 25 of those little babies all going at once! Now that does sound like punishment. linda On Jan 14, 8:24 pm, Robin Gravina <[email protected]> wrote: > Tasmania doesn't sound like a dull place at all really. > > On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 6:26 AM, Linda <[email protected]> wrote: > > and sir mandoho......what kind of strings do you have on yours, brand > > and gauge, and what kind of head???? > > This one has an 8 inch pot and its all up a bit over 19 inches long. > > It looks like it can do serious business but .....you know ..waiting > > to see....and waiting and waiting... > > linda > > > On Jan 14, 3:36 pm, [email protected] wrote: > > > Oh Linda, only 5 or 6 fiddles?
