string gauges balanced?
That's a rather fat gauge for an A. What are the other string gauges in your tuning?

string ring
my mistake that string should be .022
tuning "Mel Bay C6th lap steel method".
tuning high to low
1-E-.015P
2-C-.017P
3-A-.022P
4-G-.026P
5-E-.030W
6-C-.036W

I meant that you need to dampen the strings with your hand, behind you steel (bar) because of the natural resonance of the string length from the bar to the nut (if you don't dampen it) ON a Dobro, is is very noticable; on a pedal or lap steel, it is not very noticable til you turn down the amp, or if you are not amped and going into a recording console.
