what companies sell baritone string sets in which all 4 strings are unwound nylon or fluorocarbon?
The Southcoast unwound set is reentrant only, right? Not linear? Also, is it meant to be tuned to Bb instead of G? As far as I remember, Dirk recommends this tuning to be used on a Baritone with (most of) his strings.
I'm using the Southcoast Medium Heavy as reentrant in G tuning and am very happy with them. A lot of raves about them on my Pono bari. I haven't looked at their linear sets, but I'm sure they have some for bari. It seems they have a great variety available and you can probably put together a set for different tunings. My particular bias is that I don't want any wound because 1) they don't last very long in my experience (days) and 2) not going for a "small guitar" sound
So with a re-entrant bari, I just play all the regular uke stuff like John King and Mckillop and ignore the fact that it is a fifth lower - not much quality bari specific music, so this works for me.

As sopher says, Southcoast has reentrant tunings for G (and perhaps lower - didn't look). They also have linear for C and Bb.The Southcoast unwound set is reentrant only, right? Not linear?
