Re: Martin bent top, flat back mandolins
I have used the 250's on old Martins for a while and not had any problems. I often use custom gauges on guitar putting a heavier low E string on so the string is resonant and not dead. I have done this for several decades and not had problems with one string being heavier. I am after the best sound without compromising the instrument. The different tension of a string or two if not wildly different should not compromise much. The big thing is if the instrument is played regularly then should something be amiss it can be caught right away and changed. I have also used these string on a 20's Supertone for years with no problems.
