I have been trying different tunings (on the baritone) and had a string pop after it had been on for a few days at the higher tension. Going up or down a small amount isn't an issue but the baritone set i have just can't seem to take going up to Bb tuning (from the normal DGBE). I had a set of Galli UX780 baritone fluorocarbon strings on there, which I really liked. The first string is the one that keeps breaking. The diameters are 1).022 2).027 3).024w 4).030w.
So I was wondering how you can figure out the proper diameters to use. I have searched around and can't seem to come up with anything. I know Southcoast has a set for Bb on the baritone, but how do I calculate it if I want to try some single classical strings?
I love the Bb tuning on the baritone and want to stay there. So I hope somebody can explain it to me.
