I have a spider bridge Dobro F60. I usually use D'Addario phosphor/bronze twelves. I play finger-style slide — blues, folk, and rock.

Those are the only strings I use, so I'm wondering if you have other recommendations for brand, composition, or gauge.

Thanks!

That’s exactly what I use on my Smith & Young Model 11 roundneck. If I had more finger strength I would probably go with mediums for slide.

I now use Straight Up Strings on all my instruments and find they last much much longer than other strings I have tried.
