Any idea what the retail price will be, Garry?

Ok, first the .008 is now tuned to G4@30" with plenty of flexibility.The new .007 is 40,000 p.s.i. higher in tensile strength than the ones I've sent to everyone.The average single string is,what,$1.25 U.S.? And you used to get two .007's in an envelope.These may retail for more,since they last longer.Of course anyone who requested samples will receive a discount.The .006 is doing a great job at 25.5" as an A4 as well.
We'll have wound strings in the next month .I will put you in direct contact with the string company.Of course, I will also have a bunch of them.

I'm going to say go for an .007" E4, then maybe use D'addarios .010" and .013" or so, unless you like a nice tough G, like the ones that come in packs. You could probably go .022" for the D, .030" or .032" for the A, .042" or .044" on the E, .056" for the B, and something like .072" or .074" for the F#. But I'm more or less pulling those out of my ass. I'm going by the calculated tension for each, in reality, these strings will feel bendier because of the extra scale length.

Yes, they are more dense, and.....,I got .009, and .010 too!
