a slightly different take on piccolo strings...

does anyone know of a company winding a six-string configuration (B-E-A-D-G-C) of piccolo strings in 34" scale length? I have a couple of knockaround sixes that I'm considering restringing to add a different texture to some recordings. anyone? Bueller?

thanks,

find yourself a 12 string set (6'er doubled(octaves)) and just use the octave strings. This is what i considered doing when i wanted piccolo strings for my old 4 string (actual piccolo strings are impossible to get over here)

thanks, Si. I wouldn't have even stopped to consider that as an option!

take care and take it easy,
