Being new to the mandolin world I am wondering what brand of strings, what guage is recommended, which metal, to get a good chop sound, but not too hard to fret. I have tried GHS mediums but no lights yet. Should I try medium lights before lights? What should I be looking for in my selection besides cheapest? Phosphor bronze, nickle? I guess I could buy all three guages in as many types of metal configuration as are out there, and decide for myself, but that costs too much and I don't look forward to changing strings!
