| Sorry for the delay in our reply!
First off, I must admit that I'm not familiar with this instrument. I've tried to get as much info as possible, but haven't come up with the details that would help me direct you towards the strings you will need. We do not produce a particular set for this instrument, but may be able to recommend single strings that would work. I will need you to provide as much info as you can:
1. What is the scale length of the instrument? By scale length I'm referring to the vibrating length of the string (from nut to bridge).
2. How are the strings tuned (notes - frequency if you know it)?
3. What are the strings made of? Are the bronze, stainless steel, nickel-plated, nylon?
4. Are the string round wound or flat wound?
5. I've seen some of these instruments online with a bow. Are you bowing this instrument?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is the only way to determine what strings will work best.
Thanks,
D'Addario |
