Dobro C6 strings

Post by John Viterito »

Anyone want to recommend strings and gauges for C6 tuning on a resonator/dobro? Thanks!

What is the scale length?

6,7, or 8 strings?

Here ya go.

I assumed that 80/20 bronze strings are used on an acoustic Dobro. I do not play a Dobro but I had to choose something.
