Overview
Layers of silk between the bronze wrap and the steel core give Earthwood Silk and Steel strings their softer voice and gentle feel. The gauges in the description run from a thin high string to a heavier low string.
A mellow sound with reduced finger noise suits folk and fingerstyle players, and the three-pack supplies spares. The limitation is that mellow is the opposite of bright and loud, and there is no warranty in the listing.
Who it's for
Fingerstyle and folk players who want a softer feel and a gentler sound. Hard strummers wanting projection should look at bronze sets instead.
Pros and cons
- Silk layer for a mellow sound
- More comfortable feel
- Less finger noise
- Three packs for spares
- Less bright than bronze
- No warranty information
Performance notes
The silk layer between wrap and core softens the string's response, which mutes some brightness and dampens finger noise. Extra light gauges ask for less pressure to fret. The bronze wrap still adds some clarity.
