Hey everyone,
Does anybody know what strings Edgar Meyer uses?
Thanks so much,
Rob

I think he uses a combination of old barbed wire and weed-whacker line.

(Just jokes, of course, Sleeper. Riffing on E.M.'s reported penchant for $10 Chinese bows.)

Spirocores on the bottom(E,A). Flexocores on top(D,G).

He seems to use a special tuning though. EAEA?

EAEA open strings- that makes absolutly no sense.

Sure it does. The lower strings are in orchestral tuning and his uppers are solo tuning. It obviously works for him.

Ya thanks it didn'y come to mind about the solo tuning upperstrings.
