I guess nylon strings are inherently less bright as compared to steel strings, and this set, being my first ever, stood true to that. Otherwise, the installation was effortless, tone improved within two days of playing and great for the fingers. Tone holds good during bends too. I'm sure there are better nylons out there as I wasn't that impressed with these, but then they were great for my first guitar ever (shown in pic). Overall, it was a good experience. I was told nylon strings last longer than steel, so lets see.
