Savarez NN86 - .86 mm / 0.0338 inches, Single String

I have an 1890s-vintage Martin parlor guitar. I've been using the Savarez 520F string set on it. This is a very-lightly braced guitar, with a relatively short scale (about 25 inches). The wound 3rd string avoids the floppiness that the plain 3rd of the 520R set had. That said, the 2nd string also felt and sounded a little floppy, so I was looking Read more about review stating Savarez NN86, NN89, and NN91 Singles.at replacing it with something a little heavier. Matt at SBM suggested the NN86, NN89, and NN91 singles. (The normal 2nd is about an NN83.) I currently have the NN89 on. It may be a little too much - the 2nd string now sounds a little conspicuous. Maybe I just need to get used to it. Anyway, I think we're on the way to a solution. BTW, others might suggest putting extra-light metal strings on the guitar, but this one has friction tuning pegs, which are difficult enough with nylon strings.
