Subject: RE: Tech: Martin Carthy's Strings
I always use 13-56's in standard tuning on the Tanglewood I have and it seems happy enough.

Allows drop D very happily and it allows me to play in open C


I have a friend who plays with 10's on his acoustic and it's like using a bow and arrow the distance the strings bend.
