String sizes required to maintain same tension when down tuning further
6 string:
Right now I am tuned to C standard, running 56-12 not-even-slinkys. If I were to tune down to B flat (1 step), what string sizes would I require to produce the same tension? Thanks |

13's would get you close enough... Although most sets are 13 - 56, so you're only really changing the higher strings.
