String Gauge Help for Tuned Down E9

Post by Paul Hutzler »

I wanted to tune my E9 down to an A9 with the appropriate gauge strings. This is for a musical experiment.

So:
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
E....G...A...B...C#..E...A...C#..G#..B

Anybody have any recommendations for string gauges?

I did this with the string gages that I got from the MSA website for Travis Toy's copedent

if that does not work you can link to it from here:

I could not find a set to match so I had to build one from singles at a local music store.

I Hope that helps.
