I have never changed strings on this beauty yet. It's about time.
I bought a set of E9/B6 from Bob a while back, which I now believe are the wrong ones. My bad...
Thanx,

Ron,
I use the George-L Nashville E9th 10 stg set and add on a 45 & 54 for the 11th & 12th string. I also use a 12 on the 3rd string.

| Here is what I have found works best for me. Starting with the top string : .013, .015, .011, .014, .017, .020, .026w, .030w, .036w, .042w, .054w , .070w . I like George l's and/or Cobra coil. I have tried the .054 or .056 on the 12th string but like the .070 much better. (Just my preference) |

Thanx, Y'all.
So, Theil...
From what you posted, it looks like the E9/B6 set I have is almost there.
Aside from the .12 that I have for the top, & the .68 I have for the bottom, all the other strings are the same as yours.
Guess I'll go ahead & give these a try.

.013 .015 .011 .014 .017 .020p .026w .030 .034 .036 .042 .054 (or something close to that).
You don't want .068 for the bottom - that's for U-12 low B not Extended E9th low E.

Okay. You probably only need a .034 though, for the 9th string. Everything else is pretty much the same. U-12 doesn't have a middle D. Ext E9th doesn't have the low B.

I like this ext E9, although I don't use the bottom 2 strings much, yet. But, it's nice to have them there. Fun gettin' those bottom notes. 
Bob, I got this from Scott Appleton.
I should probably find out what he has on it, cuz they feel real good.

Following the book and using the proper maintainence,oiling them 2-3 times a week guarantees almost a lifetime of wear..You can use the old ones to pull a car or a medium size ship..very universal..Highly recomended by owners of the old Smiley Steels..  Wil Pickett uses them all the time.. |
