Hi all
Looking for some resophonic strings 16 gauge, would like a different make to martin strings, they have no real life span!
Also using a condenser mic with a H clamp (can't bring myself to drill into my baby - Tom Morici square neck maple dobro) my mic is a bit cumbersome & going traveling for a while, just wondered if anyone could recommend a decent mic?
Also losing signal going through a VP & reverb pedal. Will a DI box sort this out?
Any info welcomed & appreciated!
Best
Neil

Can anyone comment on sit strings? Are they better than martins?

Never tried SIT strings on resonator, currently trying GHS Sheerhorn Cryogenic. I'm not finding them very bright. I think I will return to using D'Addario coated EXP42.

Neil,
PM me your address and I will get Becky to send you a complimentry set of S.I.T. for your Dobro... I still say if they are good enough for Emmons....... We should all be happy with`em ??
There are lots on here that buy their strings from Bec and get excellant service... but they are being very quiet at the moment

To my mind, some people want to over complicate things. In my Newbie world, the measure of strings is - do they sound balanced; do they stay in tune; and do they give an acceptable life cycle. Coupled to the cost and the service from Beccy' I side with John and say "Give em a try" especially at the proposed introductory cost.

Neil, get some SIT's off JD, i use em on the steel and they're great. I imagine the dobro ones will be proper. Get a set of E9's for the steel while you're at it
