Just getting back to claw hammer after a 40 year break. I have been playing Irish tenor for the past 10 years or so. When I first got into Irish tenor the standard irish set had two wound and two plain strings. I discovered most of the better players were using 3 wound and 1 plain string, for a fuller and more balanced sound. Over the years i have developed my own preferences and make up my own sets of phospher bronze.
I have been researching CH strings and gauges and have been wondering if anyone uses a wound 2nd? I may order some .016w and .017w. Currently my lightest is.018 which would be a bit too heavy.
Thanks!
Bob.
