Has anyone here tried Thomastik Infield strings on an A5 style?
I've had the TI strings on my Davidson flat top for about 9 months now. Although I loved the tone from the start, I wasn't initially keen on the smoother feel, but I've grown accustomed to the feel now. But what suits one mando won't necessarily suit another, and the Newell is a very different mando. I've got J74s on it at the moment, but want to change for something that will have a lighter feel.
Has anyone got any comments on TIs for this type of mandolin, or any other recommendations? I know I definitely don't want to go to a heavier gauge than the J74s, but other than that I'm open to suggestions!
