One of the few for sale online arrived Thursday. What everyone has been saying is true: its sound is as beautiful as it looks! Everything about it, from the finish to the tuners, seems to be perfect. And I love its full, rich sound which seems louder than what other concerts I have played.
My problem is the tension of the strings because I have small, old hands.
Though I didn’t realize that the Concert scale is strung with Tenor strings
(Pepe Romero UT2), I thought I could change them so I ordered Concert Worth Browns and Living Waters’ strings. I prefer loose strings even if they are a little floppy. And I thought that if I used strings from the next build down (soprano or concert?) there would be less tension. So I have 2 questions:
(1) Why was the Concert scale strung with Tenor strings?
(2) Bigger Question: The strings seem to disappear into the bridge (?) So how do I change the strings??
I’ll try to post a photo of the Bridge.
