Light Labella Tapes on a Short Scale?

[Just Wrong]

I’m having a headless short scale (30.75) built and asked the luthier for the regular strings I use on my 34-inch scale, which are light tapes.

Labella doesn’t offer light tapes for short scale, but it’ll work on my headless.

I’m thinking though they might end up being too loose. What do you think?

Hmmm...I distinctly remember going through a set of White Nylons in light (50-105) gauge several years ago. Maybe they've been discontinued...

What's "loose" for one person may be perfect for another. They would most definitely be "loose" for me.

Good luck.

They must’ve discontinued them:

Colour me surprised. Not.

I'm still groaning about them discontinuing Deep Talkin' Rounds a few years ago...my favourite strings ever...ugh...

They make heavy gauge tapes for short scale, but not light gauge.
