Default Tony rice monel strings review, sort of...

Have these on right now on my Rockbridge. One of the builders uses nickel and suggested these. They have a nice tone to them. I feel that I lose volume and the sound is darker, perhaps muddy, on an instrument that was loud, crisp, clear and defined in mids with the curt Mangan phosphor bronze strings. I like them a lot and they are growing on me. I just think for my style, which isn't flat picking, they are not the best choice. I could imagine them being on an all hog guitar.
