Hi Mango,
I will post to the thread you started in a day or two, after my strings settle in, but in case you were planning to re-string your Dolphin soon I wanted to let you know that I just put Ko'olau Golds on mine (this is only my second time stringing and I need to set aside a good chunk of time, so I am a bit behind schedule!). Anyway, at this point I am very pleased with them. They have a nice, warm sound but they seem to have good projection. I'll know more in a couple days when they are holding their tuning better and as I said I will post to the thread then in case anyone else wants to know! (Oh, also I like the yellow strings on my metallic blue Dolphin!) Let me know what you end up trying! (If Ken Middleton had introduced his strings a couple weeks earlier I would have tried those, but I had a friend visiting the US and I ordered some strings from Elderly for him to bring back.)
Best.
Lily
