I spent a while playing around with tension calculators for my cittern strings, and I ended up with plain octave strings being close to half the gauge of the lower string, but just one or two steps...
The general rule of thumb is 1/2 the gauge of the lower string, but this can be a little tricky when mixing wound and plain strings. The best approach is to find a string that is the same tension as...
I’d start by asking Nigel.
In the meantime, some of the bouzouki players here who use octave pairs could give you recommendations for the G and D strings. Scale length will be a consideration,...
