@Juhan, @Loraine is right , the tension is a lot stronger on those steel strings. I just recently had a mishap with a guitar of mine. Those steel stings pulled the neck loose from the body of the guitar. I replaced the strings with nylon (classical) and now it’s in working order again (well, after a little gorilla glue, clamps and dry time). I have 2 guitars with nylon strings and it’s a LOT easier on your fingers when I practice. I also have 2 guitars with steel strings.
