I just bought an Orion Baritone - it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm eagerly looking forward to it getting here. I would like to put fresh strings on it when it arrives.

What strings are recommended for the Orion Baritone?

By the way, this will be the first Alembic I've played.

We're still searching for the "perfect" string, so we've been buying D'Addario singles in these gauges:

.013
.018
.030
.044
.056
.070

We usually tune B-B unless otherwise requested.

Hope you enjoy your baritone guitar, I'm considering getting one myself.
