I want to change the strings on the mandolin in my signature, I feel like they are very dead. Have never changed them on a mandolin before. I understand most say the best way is to do them one at a time, so that is probably what I will do.
I am hearing the J74, or J75 are a good choice, not sure about which brand to use, also have been told the GHS LS250 silk and steel are great., for a more woody sound, toning down a bright sound. Has anyone here tried them, if so what is you thinking about the silk and steel? Are they harder to keep in tune? Also looking at putting a deer antler saddle/bone on this, again has anyone here done this, and what are your thoughts.
Thanks for looking.
