Roland drums
Saxophones, clarinets, flutes,
and a partridge in a pear tree.....
so far....

Welcome obijohn.  There are nylon players here, so I think you will get some advice on the strings.  Congratulations on the new one.

To catch the eye of nylon players, maybe consider starting a thread so the title indicates what information you're seeking.  ;)
