If you play a baritone guitar and tune down to A-A or B-B, Ernie Ball's Baritone Slinky set is built for exactly that. These are 6-string, round-wound strings designed specifically for baritone scale lengths — not a compromise using standard or bass strings.
The wound strings are made from nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core wire, while the plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel. One detail worth knowing: these use small ball ends like standard guitar strings, not the large ball ends found on bass string sets, so they'll seat correctly on your baritone hardware. String lengths are also scaled accordingly — the lighter strings (.013–.044) are 48" long, while the heavier wound strings (.056 and .072) are 39.5", with the .072 tapering at 37". Note that these may not be compatible with reverse headstocks.
