5-string flatwound sets
I'm conducting a little experiment here. Having found, at
least temporarily, a source for individual flatwound
strings, I've made a small purchase and put together a
limited quantity of 5-string flatwound sets, to see if
there's any interest in them. Flatwounds are much more
expensive than roundwounds, but many players say they've
just gotta have them. Here are the details:

The A and E strings are plain steel; the C, G, and D
strings are flatwound with stainless steel. Sets are
available with either loop-end or ball-end strings. You
will automatically get ball-end strings unless you
specify loop-end. Also be sure to specify the gauge you
want.

If you want to calculate the string tension you'll get when
you put these strings on your mandolin, use this handy calculation tool. Along with your payment,
please include your name, address (P.O. boxes OK), and
e-mail address, and specify loop-end or ball-end. |
