What would be the difference in tone/volume between the GHS Silk and Steel vs the GHS Pure Nickel.

I have found the "Silt & Steel" strings can sound a little gritty.

A bunch of stuff with four strings
The silk and steel would be a lot quieter and softer, especially on the wound strings. I love the Pure Nickel strings and use both gauges on different mandolins. They sound great, for my taste, and last a long time.

I just now noticed my error.
LS 250 is wound with silver coated copper.
[same winding wire as on E A D, 3 lowest pitch on classical guitar]

Nickel lasts longer for me in hot humid weather. I use them on guitar and have on mandolin. They seem to take the extra dirt of a wet clime a little better and have a strong fundamental tone. Try them. The Silk and " " strings are softer and perhaps not quite as loud.
