Yes, you can mix strings no problem.

Willem- you can also buy just the .011 E string. Since it isn't a coated string it doesn't matter much if you mix brands. I wouldn't mix the coated strings. :cheer:

Some players (not me) buy individual strings in bulk and mix different sizes than what might usually come in a packaged set. So, no problem mixing sizes; judge by your ear.
