tritoneman Guitar string choices in the 1920s-30s (24) RE: Guitar string choices in the 1920s-30s 22 Jan 11

Coming back to the main theme of this thread, there must have been specialist steel string makers during the 1920'and 30's, and earlier. The Italian mandolins of the 18th and 19th centuries were steel strung - I assume. I wonder if people like Blind Willie McTell and later, Leadbelly could easily obtain 12-string sets or did they make them up from 6 string sets?
