I currently use light gauge MR on both my Sticks, but I think I will move up to medium at the next string change (which should be soon). _________________ Polycarbonate 10string #1991 "Claymore" Railboard 10string #6428 "Colossus"

After having tried all I settled with medium gauge for both 36" Grand and SG-12. But on the long-scaled Stick I tune a half-note higher than the SE recommendation. _________________ Cheers / Per Railboard, Bamboo SG12, Wenge SG12, Bamboo Grand. The Block, PASV-4.

For me nothing is best than a heavy gauge...on my 12 strings grand. I ajusted the instrument with the truss rod. It's better to keep in tune...perfect for me. _________________ Grand Stick, Wenge, 12 strings, MR, SN 6667 http://soundcloud.com/Kataway http://www.youtube.com/user/Shawinijazz https://alainauclair.bandcamp.com/

(Stick DBR, guitar, bass). and i always used D'Addario strings even before having a Stick. no other brand feels right under my fingers. and Per, i tune a half-step down. i like 'em saucey... _________________ Peace, Marty "The present day composer refuses to die" -Edgard Varese
