Has anyone gotten to drop C tuning with a 45-100 flatwound set ? Im new to the flatwound game. Ive never gotten to drop C with Roundwounds without sounding like mud.
A roundwound .110 should do C ok, you need to increase the gauge to maintain your desired tension. On average, for a particular gauge, flatwounds can be tuned a little lower as they have more stiffness. However, if you are trying to reach a particular target pitch, the correct approach is to experiment with different gauges, not keep the same gauge and try different string constructions or different brands.
First, by "drop C tuning" do you mean CADG or CGCF? Secondly, for good definition and clarity, a minimum of .110 would be recommended for the low C both for rounds and flats.
Im asking if anyone has gotten to drop C (or drop D) tuning with Flatwound strings specifically 45-100 guage
