Thank you !

Hello All,

Despite playing music for over 20 years, I have never memorized string width or length.

I was trying to string an acoustic guitar by the name Bristol BD-16 Dreadnaught when said string snapped.
I used old strings from a short scale Musima I usually play with and I could feel that these strings were not designed for it due to the tension.

I like to play in D with metal strings and my question is which string tension or length must I buy to play a Bristol BD-16 Dreadnaught in D?

Thank you very much !
