D'AddarioGuitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ46LP - Nylon Guitar Strings - Silver Plated Wrap, Composite Core, Clear Nylon Trebles - Lightly Polished, Hard Tension

Works great with my Taylor Mraz model--helps minimize finger squeak. Also happy with the tone from the strings as opposed to other D'Addario nylon strings I've used before. I use this one to replace my strings every 3-4 months.

Describing why we like a particular type of guitar strings is hard because the criterion is different for each person, guitar, playing style and stage of development of each musician. When I was young and played only electric, my choice of strings was easy - Ernie Ball Super Slinky! Years and many guitars later I discovered Elixir Poly Webs for my mahogany and Nano-webs for my cedar acoustic guitars. But, by far the most difficult strings to find have been those for classical guitars.Now, I have finally found a perfectly-balanced set, that minimize string-squeak, are easy and delightfully tactile for both fretting and playing hands, and exquisitely responsive to the slightest nuances of pressure and attack. My playing style requires very low action, but without any buzzing. I have to extensively work on the neck and frets myself to achieve this and am usually successful at these alterations, but I have no control over strings; they are as the come out of the package.Finally, after trying almost every manufacturer and type of classical strings I have found nirvana! These strings are easy to fret, no buzzing, easy to pluck, strum, glissando, bend, tap, and pick, all the while in perfect intonation and balance. in particular, the G string has been tamed by D'Addario's inclusion of a special type of nylon for this string. No longer do I have to struggle to tame the loudness of the G string; it is part of the team now, instead of the prima-donna it usually is. At the same time, my picking hand is delighted by the elasticity and touch; not too hard, not to soft, but responsive to every need. All praise to the D'Addario folks for answering my desire for the perfect strings. Will they be right for you? Only one way to know for sure...

I am new to nylon strings having just bought my first classical guitar from Kremona. It came with their own strings which sounded okay. I was not sure if they were newer or had been on the guitar while in storage so I decided to purchase a new set and went with these based on some reviews I read. Also because the set comes with two different G strings and the G string on my new guitar sounded a bit flat to me. When I installed the set I used the composite version and played it for a week or so then switched to the clear nylon one that came with the set. I ended up liking it a lot more than the composite one. Seemed more consistent, responsive and natural sounding to me.That said I am not overly impressed by the sound of these strings. I have never been a fan of D'Addario in general and do not use them on any of my steel string acoustics. They always seem to fall short to me. Again I don't have a lot to compare them too at this point outside of videos I watch of people playing acoustics and the sound they get using different model strings. Now had I gotten two sets of strings for $21, I might feel different about these strings. I simply can't justify the cost that is easily double the average cost of nylon strings.I am going to try some different models until I find the sound and responsiveness I am looking for, so it's not likely I will be able to judge their longevity. Again not knowing much about longevity of nylon strings.Taking all that into consideration I would go 3-1/2 stars to be honest, but give the nod to four. Still I would suggest experimenting with lower cost strings before making the leap to a $21 set.

Wonderful product. Its what I expected

Although these strings are twice as expensive as the regular, they are worth it to greatly reduce the noise from the wound strings. It's not a total removal of squeaks - if you twist your finger as you move it, you're more likely to make noise - but you can slide your finger along the length without worrying. I use the nylon 3rd G string, but it ships with an additional wound G. The strings are quite bright sounding, which works for me and my no-nails style.

I was extremely disappointed with these strings as a classical guitarist with over 20 years of experience. Surprisingly, my old strings produced a richer and resonant tone than these brand-new ones! I do not recommend them to anyone seeking quality sound.

These are the best things I've ever played.I ordered them expecting only to get strings that made less squeak noise. To my delight they are more than that.1. The tone from these strings is amazing, with beautiful, rich warm tones but not too dark.2. They feel great. Very smooth.3. Virtually no left hand squeak noise.4. With their gold/copper hue they look fairly good.They come with 2 G strings, a composite and a clear nylon. The composite is not bad but I prefer the clear nylon. The basses steal the show, but the trebles are very nice.I highly recommend these strings.

These strings are polished to a degree that the silver coating is nearly all gone. The d-string looks like a copper telephone wire. It affects the sound and feel of play in a way that makes them unusable. Innovation is great, but they are trying way too hard with this particular item.However, D'Addario's customer service was great and they are helping me find a better set.

calidad de sonido y durabilidad

Très bonnes cordes, les bruits de frottements des basses sont pour ainsi dire inexistants. Les trois petites sont excellentes. Dorénavant, ce sont les cordes que je vais utiliser.

I like these strings and have been using them for years despite their high price.They are more expensive than comparable strings because the "lightly polished" (LP) finish on the wound strings means the make a lot less noise when you slide your fingers along them. I'm assured that makes them particularly suitable for recording; not a concern of mine, but I appreciate having to worry much less about that extraneous noise.Some people like the sound of fingers sliding along the strings when the player changes left hand position. These strings are for everyone else.I find these strings hold their pitch well and have a good playing life. (I have no way of quantifying that; it depends how much and how hard you play.) These strings do require some playing in. I would avoid using them in public for the first day or two. You may feel differently; I think the basses sound too twangy until they have been played for a while.These strings come with a composition third string. A singe filament of something other than the standard nylon. I'm happy with that, but if you are not then you can use the standard nylon string that the maker packs with each set as an alternative. (I'm still looking for something useful to do with thoswe spare 3rd strings.)

J'avais hésité longtemps avant d'acquérir une guitare électro-acoustique à cordes nylon car j'étais perturbé par les bruits parasites provoqués par les déplacements de doigts sur les cordes graves qui étaient vraiment très audibles et dérangeants. Avec ces cordes, ce problème est en grande partie résolu .

Réception rapide, installation facile, accordage facile, prise en main ok.Rien à redire. Très bon rapport qualité prix.
