    Big City Strings has two sets listed for Lenzner:

    Consort (10/15/21/32)
    Medium (10/14/24/33)

    What is the difference between these two? They are obviously different gauges, but also clearly not just different gauges of the same set as neither is totally heavier or lighter than the other. They are both burnished bronze.

    The Lenzner strings that some of us bowlheads use are indeed called the consorts but I think nowadays they are made under the Fisoma label. I believe that Alex Timmerman, conductor of Het Consort had specced these out. They were intended for vintage bowlbacks.
