Is there a (less expensive?) alternative to the TI octave mandolin strings for GDAE tuning where all the strings are flatwound?
I've been playing my archtop tenor guitar in GDAE with flatwounds on the GD&A but want a flatwound E to round out the tone. Even with a 14 or 15 plain on the E it sounds a little too ringy for comfort.
Thanks in advance!
