Re: Tomastik Strings on a Loar F5 Grade Instrument?
I love the T-I Heavy set on my 1920 A3. I've had j74s on her too, but prefer the T-I's. I've put the Heavy set on my Muth, which is the more typical carved-top A5, red-spruce, maple mandolin. They didn't last as long on the Muth. For it, I'm now using the EXP74CM set.
Thomastics (Heavy) stay on my Cohen, which is redwood and walnut - also carved top, f-hole (a-model).
I don't understand the T-I mediums unless you are on a flat-top or classical box. Heck, even the Heavy set are lighter than "74s!"
f-d
