Re: String comparison forthcoming...
I'm almost finished with this first round of strings, and I decided to broaden the scope of my comparison. I took into consideration some of the recommendations made here (i.e. Curt Mangan Monel, GHS Silk & Steel), lighter gauges of strings I already like (D'Addario Nickel Bronze, GHS Pure Nickel), and some oddball strings I haven't heard much about (Savarez Argentine, Optima Chrome Special).
Another confounding factor in my comparison—I just installed an armrest (Cumberland), and it has seriously improved the sustain and upper harmonics of the instrument!
Anyways, I'm looking forward to testing these and writing up my thoughts to share with you all.
