La Bella Classic 2001 MT

I strung these on a solid spruce topped Alhambra. They are a lovely sounding string and probably the best strings I have fitted to this 15 year old guitar. Yes, they are slightly more expensive than a lot of strings but worth it for the lovely tone. If longevity is good I will definitely buy again, time will tell.

After trying many different brands and types of classical guitar string these are my current favourites. I thought low tension strings might be quieter but they are actually louder as they vibrate more freely. They create a lovely long sustaining tone and are easier to play which was a consideration for me as I have some left hand issues. The only downside I have found is that it is easier to push the 1st string over the edge of the fret as less pressure is required to sound a note or do a pull off. This requires a small adjustment of technique.

I chose these strings because I was having repeated problems with nails breaking. Since changing to these I have had no more problems of this type. The tone is quite sweet but without the 'punch' of normal tension strings. La Bella have several - not just 3 - tensions for their strings and these are designed specifically for old/antique instruments that you might be afraid to bring up to pitch with normal strings. They are significantly narrower gauge than Augustine Black Label Low Tension strings. I'll probably stick with them despite a slight loss in volume.

These are great strings for classical guitar - beautiful sound and they last a good while as well

The best classical guitar strings i ever purchased

Each string has a small plastic bead to number the string. Just what we need to be swallowed up along the food chain one day. Keep away from children.As for the strings just fitted, who knows. Why promote more plastic in 2019. They actually advertise it when you open pack.

This was purchased as a test for a classical guitar I have just purchased. The product in question was okay, however for my style of playing the medium to hard tension was not what I needed. So now I will try the hard tension and see if this is better, If not I still have a medium to try out.
