Detail 01
Lower tension than standard steel, bronze, or brass wound strings
The set is described as having less tension than those standard wound-string types.

Independent shopping perspective
This light-gauge 12-string acoustic set is made specifically for C tuning. Its silk-and-steel design places Italian silk between the steel core and silver-plated copper winding, a construction associated with a soft touch and sweet tone. It also carries less tension than standard steel-, bronze-, or brass-wound strings, so it is a focused choice for the C-tuned 12-string setup it was designed around.
