I love Martin M130 Acoustic Guitar Strings Silk and Steel strings as they make it easier for me to play - they are much kinder to my damaged wrist. Tonally, they are more mellow, softer sounding and I think they sound better than phosphor bronze strings - performers may well prefer the brasher phosphor bronze strings since they cut through better than the silk and steel ones - but I just play at home and find them delightful. I never use a plectrum, only finger pick and make much use of intervals, double stops which I think sound great with silk and steel. I do think they are quite expensive - but I imagine they are made in smaller quantities - are they good value - that is really quite difficult to say - perhaps in general, they are not, but they certainly help me with my wrist problems.

A friend who is a uke player bought a new Fender short-scale acoustic guitar to learn on. However, the original strings were too heavy for the short-scale length and made holding down chords difficult even for an experienced player. My mate sorted the action out and fitted these Martin folk strings. The guitar lost some of its original stridency which was no bad thing, and the tonality warmed considerably. The strings do what they are supposed to do and we all enjoy playing it.
