Hello, my name is Itamar and I'm new to this forum.
I have a newbie question about baritones that I coudn't find an answer and here it is,
Longer scale increases tension. Heavier strings also increase tension. Then why the hell does every manufacturer ship their baritones with heavy strings? (i.e. LP baritone with a 28" scale and .60-.something tuned to C). I must be missing something. Wouldn't it be logical to put lighter gauge strings?
