Great...
Probably my favourite strings to use on my grand auditorium shape acoustic. Easy on the fingers and don't break the bank on price. Would happily recommend.

Nice change to play these soft and gentle strings. Work well on my vintage small bodied Fender when playing folksy tunes..

Warm Tone (Strings & Service)
Beautiful, warm tone in these strings, and in the service provided! Delivery within a day or so of ordering and the picks & tic tacs are a nice touch! I will be ordering all my strings, etc. from here in future.

Lovely...
I usually get the D'addario Silk and Steels but They were out of stock so I tried these. I can't really tell the difference from the D'addario. They're beautiful strings - easy to play, lovely tone. There's just something very "together" about them. Chords sound more delicious and in harmony. I just love them

Beautifully mellow.
Really nice feel off these strings beneath your fingertips. Nice mellow sound. Lack sharpness but I recon that is the idea with these strings. Very much a strumming string.
