I just tried putting some new Worth Clears on an old Harmony Baritone and yuck. It has a super-floppy D string. I do not like the feel of it. I mean, I like low action/low tension, but sheeesh...
I love Worth Clears in general, but not in baritone. In looking on here, it sounds like they had to increase the size of the string to make it hit that low D sound. And since they're Clears, they had to be fluorocarbon, which I generally prefer, but it feels goofy on this size.
I had a cheap set of Martin M630's on before and those were nice, even though they had wound D & G strings which wore out quick. As a bonus, the Martin M630 baritone strings are really quite cheap on Amazon at $4.56, which is great value.
Seeing that Worths cost $16.30 on elderly (granted you do get two sets) but they're quite the premium vs. the Martin M630's.
Given the "value" consideration, do you have any other baritone string suggestions?
