Re: Recommendation? Light/Medium Strings for CGDA 16.5" scale man
I use Thomastik 174 (weich) light strings on my Collings mandola (string length 15.9"). 14, 19, 28, 45
I tune CGDA though the package says GDAE.
These strings are 45 cm /17.5" long.
I remove the wrap on the lowest string, the 45, with a sharp razor, but the wrap fits into the other tuning pegs just fine.
An alternative, which may work for you.
GHS #PF285 strings are silk and steel. They are quite light and about 30" long. 12,24,34,48
