As with makers and re-branders of steel string sets... medium from one could be high tension from another... this is also the case with nylon.

For a baseline.. start with D'Adddario Pro Arte "normals"... this is their mddle tension set... I have tried many makes and many tensions... no matter the guitar, D'Addario Pro Arte normals are my default string.

On my 1961 Ramirez IA F cypress/spruce 655 I used Savarez red card with a wound first, second, and third. That guitar did not sound right with any other brand or combination.

Just as on my Tele.. it really likes D'addario .011 flat wounds. Not round wounds or any other brand.. it took me 10 years to land on this bit of magic.
