thomasmiller -> Iron Wound Trebles? (May 15 2017 12:09:24)

I have been using La Bella 850B (white Trebles) that have silver-plated wound basses & black nylon trebles.
I have been thinking that I would like to try to find some strings that also use silver-plated wound trebles for a snappier sound, with similar tonal characteristics to a steel string guitar.
Do these strings exist, and does anybody have some recommendations?
Its of Mild Steel
Please help.
Thanks!

Savarez tried wound the third. Sounded great but the windings were very thin and soon broke. Second and first would be even more thin and would not survive even one show.

Rotosound had plastic wound trebles, but they were very noisy and soon disapeared.

Savarez still makes a set with plastic wound 2nd and 3rd.

Many years ago I used the wound third, but stopped when I got a good guitar.

I don't know about steel sting sound with a nylon set...there are Polycarbonate treble sets you can get that are more strident sounding. You might try that.

Savarez made a set for a short time with all silver wound strings. I tried them and loved the sound but the set went dead in about 15 minutes and the trebles started unraveling and breaking shortly after that. I had an important performance once and put a set on for the one piece I was playing, I couldn't practice with those strings since they were essentially only good for a few minutes.

The Saturn 5 rocket of strings. Good for one launch, but packed a hell of a velocity.
