Silk and steel.

After decades of using bronze strings on my acoustic guitar, I allowed myself to be persuaded to try a set of La Bella silk and steel strings.  So amazingly lovely!  Rich and ringing, they're a joy to sing with.

From La Bella's product description:  "...silver-plated copper wire wound on pure silk filaments wrapped over a steel core.  Preferred by finger-style guitarists for their great volume and mellow tone, these strings are meticulously hand-wound using a pure Italian silk underlay and have less tension than standard steel or bronze wound strings."

Less tension.  I'll take all of that I can get!
