Baritone 5-string sets
The baritone 5-string mandolin is increasing in popularity,
thanks to players like Michael Kang. I'm happy to fill
the small but growing need for baritone strings.
These are suitable for GDAEB or FCGDA tuning on a
scale length of approximately 19–20 inches. (If
you want 5-string or
8-string standard mandolin
sets, or a mandocello
or octave mandolin sets,
I sell those, too.) Here are the details:

*The Light set contains the same gauges specified
by Jonathan Mann, the leading active maker of 5-string
baritones.
The B and E strings are plain steel; the G, D, and
A strings are roundwound with nickel steel. Sets
are available with either loop-end or ball-end strings.
You will automatically get ball-end strings unless
you specify loop-end. Also be sure to specify the
gauge you want. |
PRICE:: $5 a set, plus shipping.
