So, I just put a brand new set of D'Addario EJ87B Titaniums on a new (to me) Hoffmann baritone, and I thought I had done something wrong.
I looked back at the string package (hidden inside, of course), and the tensions are (lbs):
14.87
14.37
7.24
9.13
Huh? D'Addario actually meant to make them this way?
I'm okay with the (fairly tight) wounds, but the unwounds are toy-like floppy, which is exacerbated by the fact that the wounds have twice the tension. Trying to strum is comical. Maybe it's just me.
