Does this 6 string set exist? .025 high C and tapered B string

[BunchyMutt]

Roundwound, standard tuning. .025 for the high C and a tapered/exposed core B on a 34" scale.

I know Kallium could do it, though I've had a few strings break with them.

Ideally I'd prefer nickel over stainless, though I'm fine with either. I'd also prefer round wound over hex core, but again I'm not picky.

Yes.
I use a seven string S.I.T. Powersteel Conklin exposed core set for my sixer.
Because of the .25 high C.
I don't use the high F.

They are stainless however.

ooo interesting. Thanks. I've never tried SIT strings. My last few sets have been labella stainless and DR hi beams. If I could have a set of Hi Beams with an exposed core B string and more mellow highs that would be golden

I use them on two of my sixers.

Sold. I've ordered a set along with a set of the Recess Wound Nickel 6 strings just for comparison

I've also ordered a set of singles from juststrings. Nickel D'Addario in what's essentially progressive tension. .130 tapered B, .100 E, .070 A, .050 D, .035 G, and .025 C.

Great!Now I can try a set of those nickel strings for my sixers.

Good to see a 'progressive tension' set, very rarely seen. Tension decreases consistently from E to C. Those gauges are almost exactly the ones i used once years ago, except i chose .135 for equal tension B and E.

I also got a .135 tapered It's a big tension jump from the 130 to 135 so we'll see how it goes
