Re: Silk & Steel on old instrument??
Can you post a photo of the early Weymann mandolin that you have?
A 'Mandolute'?
When it comes to stringing, comping one of these to an archtop, solidly necked Gibson wouldn't be the wise way to go.
Why not play it safe(r) for a spell with some GHS ultralights?
Or better yet, some Dogal Calace Dolce strings? You'll love those.
Not cheap, but they'll last you X times longer and sound wonderful.
I've got the Dogal medios on my Gibson now.
