I have a Kala cedar top tenor, which I like, usually tuned down to B or Bb. I've tried Martin M620s on there, and now have Fremont Blacklines installed. Both sets sounded good, the Fremonts a bit better to my ears. But, on both, the C string dominates, which sometimes requires caution while playing to avoid big boom. I noticed that both sets' C strings are about the same size, with larger diameters than some other sets. Worth and Living Water both have smaller C strings, so I guess I'll try one of those sets next to see if the C will be less dominant. Both of those also have fatter A strings. I've also seen some posts about using concert flouros, to reduce a dominant C string, which I can also try later, if needed.
