Hi folks, another nooby question from me:
The cheapo Mandolin I used briefly had 10 gauge strings.
The one I bought a few days ago (used, by mail) was restrung by the owner just before he sent it, but he only had an old set of 9s on hand, so that's what is on there now.
He did say that he generally uses 11s though, so I am of a mind to put 11s on.
Will the 11s be noticeably louder than the 9s? The current 9s also drift a little on the G course when playing (although they look to be very neatly strung (I come from guitar so know the importance of good stringing for tuning stability) - can I expect the heavier strings to be more stable.?
thanks
