I know that there is a gage calculator somewhere on the internet, but I've forgotten where. What I'm looking for is string gages for a Dobro tuned to either G6th or E7th. I am used to a 0.016" or 0.018" for the high string, so these would be relatively stout gages...

G6th (lo to hi) B D E G B D

E7th (lo to hi) B D E G# B E

Any hints?

Here's a nice String Tension Calculator ...

You can customize your own set using tensions as your guide ...
