JustStrings.com Bulk Strings - Nickel Plated Round Wound .036, Bulk Pack of 12, 036NWstar rating 5edwininhoustonNovember 3, 2009Outstanding!! Now I can make my own favorite set, which is the top half of an 011 to 049 set, and the bottom half of an 010 to 046 set. I play and teach the Chet Atkins and Merle Travis styles. The heavier tops give better harmonics. The lighter bottoms give good response to the muted bass notes, but do not compete with the melody notes. Thanks, guys!!
