This might be of interest to some. I don't know about some of you, but I frequently pick up my mandolin and am immediately struck with the slightest sense of annoy regarding tension and thickness of the E strings. Then it hit me: Why not a .012 gauge? So I found some tenor banjo strings (.012) with loop ends and BINGO! Problem solved. Maybe the luthiers on here could weigh in but they don't seem to be too heavy. I'm using them with the Exp-J74s.
My next experiment is the J-74's on the G and D's, 75's on the A's, and .012 tenors on the E's. Has anyone else ever tried this?
