a noticeable bit higher than a pencil diameter- make sure you widen the bridge& nut grooves to accommodate the thicker strings and it's a good idea to tune them down atleast 1/4 tone when done playing so they don't stretch out.

Default Thanks Arnold
Hi Arnold... I'm glad to be hooking up with this page. My cd of world premiere Dragonetti chamber music should be available on cdbaby any time now. For a taste try youtube- dragonetti quintets. We just gave a concert last Saturday and the audience response was fantastic- it's really great and unique music. Cheers, John

I liked that video. The 3 cellists had very contrasting demeanor while playing. Sorry for the derail.
