## Questions & Answers

**Q: Size: 2 Pack  What does it mean?  Is it on sale you can get 2 packs or "2 pack" means for something else? Thanks!**
A: I just pulled mine off the listing to avoid confusion as well.  It appears a seller used the UPC code of a single pack to create a 2 pack listing, and then Amazon merged the two listings because of the same UPC code.  Most likely if you order, the sellers at this low price point like myself are offering only a single pack.  It's unfortunate when this happens, I will contact Amazon and see if there is any way to fix the listing.

**Q: I am thinking of getting this extra light set for the reason that it is easier on the fingers. is there better alternative to it? f.e. silk $ steel?**
A: We sell silk and steel strings to a lot of beginners, as well as XL strings.  They are easier on the fingers.  But, the only real solution is to play every day for a couple of weeks, play until your finger pads hurt, then stop until the next day.  In a couple of weeks the skin will be tougher, and you can play any strings you like.

**Q: Pros/cons of light versus medium for sound and action?  i'm 70 about to go back on a friendly stage after years away using a taylor mini accoustic**
A: Custom light, .11 first.
Light  .10 is going to break as soon as you start your bridge or solo! On a baby T you won't get much increase in volume if any with mediums. A little harder to play, a little more base response.

**Q: Trying to get something for my husband. I see the one labeled 12-string. But he also needs a 6 string. Is that just the basic package?**
A: Hello, ths is a set for a 12 string and what that means is there are 6 strings and 6 much thinner strings to be played together. The 6 string guitar needs the standard 6 string set for it. I hope this helps you. - PM
