This is a heads up for all you domra pluckers at the Café. I recently bought two sets of Pyramid domra strings from Lark in the Morning, and both sets had the E string mislabeled as D and the D as E. I'm sure if you're a player you will catch this right away, but if you let someone else string your instrument they'll surely pop the D if they try to tune it up to e". From the handwriting I'd guess the mislabeling occurred when they were shipped from the factory in Germany, but be sure to double-check any Pyramid strings you get before stringing your instrument. I've notified LITM about this, but if they came so labeled from the factory it could happen to anyone.
