Don't know if you can get them Stateside yet, but Rotosound in the UK just brought out a dedicated set - CL5 is the number. The CL stands for classical and they are silk wound like classical nylon strings but over a wire core. The third is wound and the top two are round piano wire. Sounds weird but I thought I'd try them. They are simply the best strings I ever played in my life. The balance across them is unbelievable. Downside is that they don't last long if you play a lot, double downside is that they make you want to play a lot. They come as Medium Tension not gauges. I think they intend to offer other tensions, but the mediums are just fine by me.
My computer's been down for 3 weeks - gee but it's good to be back.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll watch for them since I play with my fingers mostly these days.
