How's that?
I can see how they're more interesting also for string makers, and not just only for the 2 or 3 top strings (basically all metal B and high E strings are the same piano wire, no?)
I agree nylon strings work great for blues, one might even wonder to what extend the really early bluesmen played on something other than metal. The African influences almost certainly come from instruments not strung with metal).
Nylons are also used in South-American styles, Chet Atkins played them regularly too, as did Buster Jones
(and then there's Willie, of course
)
