I bought a 12-pack of the .024 bronze wound strings with ball ends. I use this for the low D string on all my mountain dulcimers and as a bonus they are easily changed to loop ends when needed. They hold up well to strumming, flat picking, and finger picking and sound great. I switched from a nickel wound option which was too “bright” sounding and these are just mellow enough to fit what I was looking for.
