Pro-Arté NylonCore

I'm not a 'guitarist', nor ever claimed, but I know what good strings are supposed to sound like. And these are it. Granted, the true string player knows more about brilliance, attack, and strength of strings than anyone. But I believe these are the standards for classical guitars. I didn't realize I got the 'tie-on' type rather than 'ball end', but I made do and used my brain to get through the installation. I think I smelled smoke. I had to redo them because they slipped out of the twisty knot I had put them in. Once they were on and not coming loose, the stretching to come was. Each string, methodically, with your fingers in a certain way. I learned from another musician long ago by watching. It took a while for them to hold their note without going loose and changing its tune. But once they settled into where they're living, they sound fresh and new, with a brilliant tone and timbre. Now, I just have to play it more and take advantage of the newness. The price is mild and close to the range of everywhere else.

I'm getting back into nylon string guitar. I have a cheap classical that had broken strings so decided to give these a try. If you play steel string guitar as your main instrument, go for a high tension set. They're very easy to play and if you have strength built up from steel strings, these won't present any problems. In fact, I've needed to develop a lighter touch with both hands to keep things in control. These sound great. The bass strings resonate well and the three "nylgut" strings feel good and have a sweet top end. Overall I find them to be very balanced and pleasing to the ear. I've got no issues with these, but I'm also a novice nylon string player. I've grown my right hand fingernails a bit and I'm working on my classical right hand techniques.

These are good strings. Unfortunately the delivery had only four of the five sets I ordered and paid for. I tried to report this through customer services, but the system made me choose endless options, none of which allowed me to type in the fact that the one set was missing. I suppose I'll just have to take the loss.

I bought these strings as I’m helping restore a family members classical guitar. The strings are labeled making it easy to know which string you need to put on next. The sound once I put them on is very full, with a bit of a deeper sound as opposed to twangy (this may vary based on your guitar, the wood, etc.). The strings are also very easy to play on, they are smooth and can be tuned in various ways ways without breaking. Naturally the nylon E, B, & G stretch a bit more when you put them on, so have patience the first few hours as they will stretch and require more tuning than E, A, & D. All in all, they are strong strings but easy to play, neither too thick or too thin. I would purchase these again. :)

Brand new. Sound & feel great

Restrung my Dad's classical guitar (he died 28 years ago...VERY old strings). Went on nice, good sound.

I like the quality of these strings. The price is fair. I highly recommend this product.
