This is my formula for drop A if you like a lot of tension;

len 25.5" == 25.5"

B3 .012" PL == 13.11# ( 0.0057gm/cm 246.9hz )
G3 .016" PL == 14.68# ( 0.0101gm/cm 196.0hz )
D3 .022" PL == 15.57# ( 0.0191gm/cm 146.8hz )
A2 .032" NW == 15.77# ( 0.0346gm/cm 110.0hz )
E2 .044" NW == 16.1# ( 0.0628gm/cm 82.4hz )
A1 .066" NW == 16.28# ( 0.1427gm/cm 55.0hz )
total == 91.51#

A bit to thick for my personal taste, but it might suit you.

65-68 for the low A would be my recommendation.

Hcash is a jewel in the rough
