Hi, looking for recommendations on strings for a breedlove OF. Just put on d'addario EJ 74 on it and it sounds awful to my ear. Too many overtones, the G is super twangy, like a guitar sound almost. It just generally creates a muddled sound that I haven't had on it before and I can't get a choppy sound out of it. On the plus sound they are really loud.
I get fewer overtones with D'Addario nickel bronze strings. You probably are just going to have to experiment for a bit.
Mapes. Best strings on planet Earth, though few people use ‘em. OEM strings for Steinway, they know what they’re doing. 8nexpensive, top quality, sound great and no charge for custom sets. Mapes Str8ngs on Google will get you there. Seriously the best strings ever.
