Re: How to calculate the downward pressure?

You might try Tomastik or La Bella flat wounds in .012. They are supple, smooth, and comfortable. The less mass in a string the less energy it can deliver when it is picked. Heavier strings have more mass, so, they can move more mass (soundboard structure) when they are in motion. Lighter strings ju...
