Great strings for 12's

As per my review of the 6 string version, I have used these strings for over 30 years. They give a mellow sound and are easy on the fingers. They work well for guitars with low frets, which can be hard to fret with traditional strings when playing fast fingerstyle. They do make playing a 12 string easier, and tuned to drop D reduce the chance of bellying and bridge lift. I have 12 strings 40+years old still in good condition by using these strings. There are other silk and steels on the market, but these are the original and best. Highly recommended.
