If you’re not in a hurry to get the instrument strung, you could try getting two courses based on whatever criteria you think appropriate, put them on, and see how they work. If they’re too big/tense, move them down (e.g., from ninth and tenth to tenth and eleventh) and if they’re too slack, move them up. When you’re satisfied with those two courses, order the other five or six courses accordingly.
