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!
