First of all, hello! I have been lurking and learning and buying on the Marketplace for some time, but this is my first post. Thank you to this community for helping me so far.
Im playing low g tenor and am looking for a nice resonant wound c string. Ive tried the smooth wound T-I strings but havent liked the response. Today the Fremont soloist arrived and thats more like it! But now I need a c string (ideally polished or smooth wound) that isnt overpowered.
Based on something I read here (sorry I cant remember from whom!) I am now trying a DAddario composite .027 string - J4504LP. It sounds pretty great but is awfully high tension, and I fear Im pushing it beyond what it can do. Am I doing it wrong? Are there only some classical 4th strings that work? Will wound c strings tend to be high tension in general? Id love to understand more about my options and what else to try.
Thank you!
Dave
