I'm having a real problem with sensitivity to the shrillness ("schrillheit"? "shrillidad"?) of the "E" strings. I don't hear it on every mando I play, but on literally 90% of them. I've just about decided it must be something about the harmonics and my hearing that makes it nails-on-chalkboard to me, since it is so universal and doesn't seem to bother anyone else like it bothers me.
I'm wondering (1) if anyone else has this problem and (2) how you solved it and (3) if this is a string issue: is there some other material of strings that would string mellow my e strings out a little?
