    Just joined your group and looking forward to learning more this type of instrument. Currently, I have focused my mandolin playing on Celtic music but just purchased an old Ditson Conquest Bowl shaped mandolin. Not knowing who had the instrument last and when the strings were changed, I plan to change the strings to those I have been using on my mandolin, D'Addario .010, .014, .024 and .038. Do any of you have a string recommendation for a bowl type of instrument and should I be concerned with neck tension? Thanks.
