Trying different string gauges on my new-to-me Northfield Model M. With medium gauge, it’s super easy to play and sounds great, but the D course seems a little louder than the A and E. With Custom Medium (same G and D, slightly heavier A and E), the volume is balanced, but a little of the sweetness is gone from the A and E. It sounds punchier now on those strings, though, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The action can go much lower than I’m used to, so playability isn’t affected by the thicker strings.
Anybody else have this dilemma?
