Review: My Guide to Knowing What These Strings Are - Very nice sounding strings for classical guitar. Below are my guidelines when buying strings and deciding which to get: In case you didn't know, classical guitars have wider necks and more space between the strings, where as acoustic guitars are your standard issue taylor swift guitar. Classic guitar strings are more for finger picking and instrumental songs, which make these specialized for slurs, hammer-ons, etc. Acoustic guitar strings are better for playing chords. Light Tension refers to how hard it is to press the string down to play it, and how loose it is strung essentially. Light tension strings like these are strings that are very easy to press down against the neck of the guitar and/or bend to manipulate the sound being played. They are especially useful for beginners or people whose fingers hurt from pressing the strings down for so long so hard, since you don't have to push down as hard to play the note cleanly. Nylon strings are best for slurs, hammer-ons, etc. which is why it is ideal for classical guitars, as it allows for finger pickings and slurring without getting that screechy sound you sometimes hear from a guitar. Metal strings produce that sound, whereas nylon are smooth and have no grooves, so they don't screech. Metal strings are generally thought to sound better for chords though, depending on your preferences really. As an intermediate guitar player, I still like these types of strings best and always will. I highly recommend Light tension, nylon strings Review: Great strings. Solid good price too. - The strings arrived on time from desertcart on time and I couldn't wait to get started. Everything is neatly labeled and packaged and I had no trouble getting everything setup and tuned. I will say they took a while to settle down. I had to retune for quite a while after installing them. the G A and high E were all more challenging than the lower three. They kept stretching and I had to re-tighten many many times before they finally started to hold a tune. Now that they are set a bit better they seem to be holding a tune very well. They are very nice to play on as they have a very smooth finish. I definitely recommend these strings to anyone with an old classical guitar that hasn't been played in a while. This will really wake up the sound and give you some brightness you've been missing. ## Features - STANDARD CLASSICAL TONE - Pro -Arte’ Nylon strings offer the standard classical guitar tone many players hold dear. - RESPONSIVE PLAYABILITY & WARM TONE - Utilizing our multi-filament nylon core basses and clear nylon trebles, Pro-Arte’ Nylon strings provide beautifully responsive playability and sweet, mellow tonal warmth. - TIE ENDS - This set features tie-ends, nylon monofilament material, and silver-plated copper wrap wire. - EARN REWARD POINTS - D’Addario Pro-Arte’ Nylon classical guitar strings come with a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – Our classical strings are made in the USA—drawn to exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OR4W3K | | Best Sellers Rank | #35 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1 in Classical Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Nylon | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Uncoated | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,589 Reviews | | Finish Type | Copper | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954952198 | | Included Components | 6 nylon classical guitar strings with tie-ends | | Instrument | Classical Guitar | | Item Type Name | Guitar Strings, Light Tension | | Item Weight | 17.01 g | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | EJ43 | | Material Type | Nylon | | Model Name | Nylon Classical | | Model Number | EJ43 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Classical guitar | | Set Name | 6-String Set | | Sound Profile | Warm, sweet, mellow | | String Gauge | Light (nylon) | | String Material Type | Nylon | | UPC | 019954952198 | | Unit Count | 6 Count | | Warranty Description | D'addario strives to be a customer-centric company dedicated to producing the highest quality musical instrument accessories in the world.

Are these nylon strings or steel strings??** A: They are nylon strings, its just the lower strings (E,A,D) are going to be "plated" with silver; all in all they are still nylon strings, not steel. **Q: can I use this strings on a Jamine S35 guitar?** A: FYI: Steel-string guitars are built much heavier than classicals and it takes a steel string (with more tension) to "drive" the top of a SS guitar. If you use classical strings on it the strings won't begin to "drive" the top and it will sound puny to say the least. The dude who recommended trying "silk n' steel" strings is absolutely right. That is a cross-over string often used on very old parlor guitars; those might give you some decent sound, but probably nothing like what a regular steel string would give you. Free info from a luthier. **Q: does it have ballends** A: No, these strings have plain ends - you have to tie them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Guide to Knowing What These Strings Are *by K***I on December 4, 2014* Very nice sounding strings for classical guitar.
