There are 2 John Pearse 'Silks' - they are Silk & Steel and Silk & Bronze.

Quite different in how they feel and sound.

The Silk & Steels are similar in feel with Plectrums, the Silk & Bronze are more like a warm sounding Phosphor Bronze string.

La Bella make a very good Silk & Steel string that come close to Plectrums for a much lower price.



For Silk & Bronze strings both John Pearse and GHS are very good.
