Great string that makes you play more..

Pyramid affordable silk and steel light strings gives you the tension for long-lasting practice to accomplish great sounds.

Great sound comes with practice.

It also builds beginners confidence without inflicting pain to their fingers.

You can be sure of Pyramid silk and steel.

I highly recommend both learners and professionals for its lasting quality and affordability.

New Life for the Vintage Guitar

These Silk & Steel strings from Pyramid are really great. I work a lot an older guitars and stringing them up is sometimes a gamble not knowing if the neck will live up to it. With these I never had a problem and the sound is as the name Silk & Steel. What more can you ask for. Great Strings

Underated strings

I know these are cheap strings, but I think they sound pretty good on my Recording King 000-guitar. The sound is vintage and a bit thin, but I like it.

Pyramid 305/100 Silk & Steel

Comprei recentemente uma nova guitarra, mais concretamente HB Custom Line King-CE VS, troquei as cordas originais por estas "Pyramid 305/100 Silk & Steel", a diferença foi notoriamente positiva. O som ficou mais encorpado e menos metálico. É uma boa compra a um preço sugestivo! Recomendo!

Reasonably priced good sounding strings.

These are good for the price. I think they are similar to the Galli version but a bit cheaper. I used them on a Mahogany folk-style guitar and it was a very sweet sound. Finger picking is nice on these strings as they feel softer than bronze folk strings. Not as loud though- so for strumming a bronze 80/20 would be my preference. The lower tension of the silk and steel strings means a truss rod adjustment may be necessary.

decent

Nice product. Saw it by accident and decided to give it a try. Feels ok. Not the best sound you can get, but its way over the average. Ideal for beginners who still have soft tips of fingers.

The price is good compared with other brands of silk and steel strings. The strings have a sweet sound on my not-very-expensive guitar. It took about a day for them to acquire their optimum tone and the sweetness decays gradually over time, with a rasping sound starting to appear on the two upper strings. But this is a problem for all unwound strings.

Made to save your fingers

Bought these because of my weak fingers. Never got used to the string tension of an acoustic guitar in standard tunning.

Pros: They make a huge difference when playing. My fingers don't hurt after playing more than a hour and you don't lose much of the sound and tone.

Cons: They didn't last as much as my other sets but then again how can you even compare them.

You do lose some tone when the string tension drops.

You might get string buzz in the E string.

I am very fond of these when I practice a lot. I can last longer and they feel way softer than your average steel strings
