Encordoamento Para Violão Nailon Carbono 0.024-0.046 D’Addario Pro-Arté Carbon EJ46FF

I thought I would try these as an alternative to the Savarez Corum Alliances that I normally use on my vintage Argentine classical guitar. The top E string broke repeatedly at the bridge tie. I restrung it at least 4 times and it broke either as soon as I reached concert pitch or within an hour or so on the stand. Leaving aside the faulty string (returned for a refund) I was underwhelmed with the tone compared to the Savarez carbon strings. On my guitar the Savarez wound strings have a much bigger sound than the Daddarios (which sound weak in comparison). Then Savarez trebles are also more forward than the Daddarios. Brighter and more defined.

Indiscutivelmente um produto para profissionais exigentes !!!

I love these strings. They came fitted on my Taylor 12eN and in this way I grew to like them. I have been playing and changing strings since I was 7 and Im now in my 50s so think Ive got a good grasp of it by now, both nylon and metal, and wanted a cross over nylon string guitar which for me is the 12eN for mainly folk, finger style material and these strings are part of the package for that sound in my opinion.

The carbon strings I feel give a very cross over sound and feel good if your used to playing metal strings. They still have a lovely smooth nylon response and tone, but if played right can sound in a different class all of their own. They lend my own songs a style which Im glad seems to be individual, not too classical sounding, yet not too harsh as some metal strings can be, an in-between.

Ive just fitted a set to the Taylor, and this is the first change it has had since new. Reading a previous review, Im hoping that a string doesn’t break soon, but will update if I find this. I have played on the previous set the guitar came with now for about 8 months till I thought they was sounding dull and needed replacing. I have at times a very hard finger playing style with my nails (no plectrum though, as some people do with nylons these days), and can say that Ive not had any problems at all with snapping etc, so fingers crossed. On fitting I found that the top 2 strings (top B&E), needed 3 loops to hold them at the bridge end, as when tension was turned up the knot would come out.

Update.
Been on over a week now with no issues at all. Keeping full tension, playing on them hard and sounding a dream. I think because of the high tension of these strings, and the thinness of say the top E string, it’s best to go careful with them when bringing them up to full tension for a while. I have been very cautious with this set, and brought up to standard tuning very very slowly to avoid snapping as mentioned by other reviews, but I’d still rather fit these than other strings.
