Subject: RE: acoustic baritone guitar strings?
You can get fast service from Strings and Beyond on Elixer Baritone set #11308 with enough strings for the Taylor 8 string Baritone or the Taylor Regular Baritone (5 steps down) 6 string. Gauges are 70 59 47 35 22 16. I substitute a wrapped Elixer 24 for the plain 22 with excellent results.

I had to build a special subwoofer for my Roland Acostic 60 amp using an RCA subwoofer from a home-theater subwoofer which is well worth the effort since the 70/B string is about 60hz.

You can contact them through Stringsandbeyond.com or call them at (877)830-0722. They are located in North Carolina.

I actually use all of the strings from 59 on down on my presentation Larrivee and thus I have lately taken to ordering sets of four of each string for a lesser overall cost. but the pick-up on the Taylor is a superb match for the Roland amp.
