EXL157 : Excellent quality as usual from D'Adddario but there is quite a jump between gauges

These are every bit as reliable, economical and with as great a tone as all other nickel plated D'Addario strings. They are very long and so fit my 28 5/8" scale baritone with enough spare to go round all the string posts comfortably. In standard 'B' baritone tuning I find the jump between the 3 thinnest strings to the 3 thickest is quite considerable (from a 26w to a 44w) and this makes them (at least for me) seem a bit unbalanced tension-wise. When tuned down to 'A' tuning, the bass strings feel better, but then the treble strings feel too soft! Obviously you will need to make sure that the lowest string can enter its tuning post -otherwise you will need to modify it (drilling it out a little). I liked these strings but think I will return to D'Addario's lighter baritone gauge because on my guitar they felt more balanced.
