D'Addario Guitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ46FF Carbon Strings - Silver Plated Wrap, Composite Dynacore, Carbon Trebles - Hard Tension

Amazing strings. Feels so good and sound so good

I am a casual hobby player, not a classical guitarist. I have a Breedlove Discovery nylon string “crossover” guitar — not a true classical guitar — with a solid cedar top, that came with extra-hard tension D’addario nylon strings. For my taste, the stout strings sounded dull on the heavily braced cedar Breedlove. On a whim, I tried these carbon strings. Their sound is brighter and more resonant on my guitar. I went with NORMAL tension because the carbon strings’ total tension in Normal is 92 lbs (the same as extra-hard tension regular nylons). The total tension of the HARD carbons is 102 lbs. (The back of the package lists the total tension.) My guitar is heavily braced and could probably withstand 102 lbs of tension, but why chance it. Carbon strings are a bit stiffer than nylon, so NORMAL tension allows my strings to vibrate freely. Of note, the G string in this pack seemed SHORT and was an absolute bear to attach to the headstock after it was secured to the bridge with two loops. I hope that was just a QC thing, because I would not want that struggle again!

They sound much brighter and significantly improver the dound of my old cheapo Yamaha guitar. They took a bit longer than traditional nylon strings to set in, but after they did, the tuning is stable. They just feel better and sharper and deeper toned than nylons from the same manufacturer. I am sure they will sound even better on a higher-end instrument. I did notice the wire wound on the 3 lower strings get worn relatively quickly (you see pressure marks. However thats not a big deal for me. I actually periodically sand my wire wound strings with high grit sand paper, and very soon they do not exhibit any finger noise anymore, plus you stop seeing fret pressure marks on them as the wire gets flatter - that without any noticeable deterioration of the sound, and quite the opposite, the sound gets richer.

If your Classical guitar has a dark sound and you want it to sound more brilliant as well as louder, this is a good set to go for. This set brings out a lot of overtones. The carbon trebles have better sustain. They are thinner then regular nylon and feel more slick to the touch. With that being said be very careful when installing the strings as they have a tendency to slip and cause potential damage to your sound board. It is harder to get a good vibrato out of these then regular nylon strings but not impossible. I find these strings to be excellent for live performances, but do not recommend them for recording because they sound alomost too brilliant even under a good microphone and eq adjustments.

I had just installed Pro Arte EJ45s on my Yamaha NTX700, and the intonation was off on the treble strings. Very noticeable. I even took the guitar to my luthier, thinking it might be something else, and he suggested using something else. I installed these, and they sound great. The intonation is much better, close to spot on.

These nylon strings sound as close to steel strings as I have found I love them and I can play them 8 hours a day I am going to be performing soon using these strings

Recently bought a Cordoba c3 because of the solid cedar top and low price. The strings the guitar came with are ok but sounded plastic-y in the higher ranges and a little on the thick side with the dreaded muffled g string pronounced Imo. So i ordered D'addario ej45 normal tension and the feel and sound was good but again was too muffled and i was starting to think it was the Guitar and filed for a return. Just as a long shot i ordered these D'Addario EJ45FF ProArte Carbon Classical Guitar Strings, Dynacore Basses, Normal Tension and i'm in heaven, even the g string i have to keep looking at it as i play because the sound is so good i think i'm on the b or d. this guitar sings now and the return has been canceled. (For those who have trouble with the e string being too slippery and coming undone) when you tie off the small e string go through the bridge hole twice and then go around the e string , finish with the double over under pinching the last bit of string behind the bridge block and tighten no slipping that way.

I usually buy this brand because it’s a great reference and I never have issues with my guitar. However, I’m not sure if it’s this specific batch or what’s going on, but the high E string keeps snapping at the bridge, even when tuned to the correct pitch. This has happened three times now, and honestly, I’ve given up. I’ve never experienced this before, which is why I’m leaving a one-star review.

Sono uno studente di chitarra classica, ho una buona chitarra non di liuteria e queste sono per ora le corde che ho trovato più equilibrate e affidabili. Non ho mai avuto problemi di sfilacciamento legati ai cantini di carbonio e l'equilibrio tra cantini e bassi è, nel caso della mia chitarra, il migliore che abbia trovato. Il suono è discretamente caldo per quanto possa essere caldo un suono di una corda in carbonio e i bassi sono cristallini senza essere per questo vuoti. Non sono corde morbide quindi non le consiglierei a un principiante ma sono ottime per uno studente di conservatorio/liceo musicale con chitarre che non spingono particolarmente come volume (il carbonio ha un volume decisamente maggiore del nylon). Il prezzo qui su Amazon è più basso di quello che si trova generalmente nei negozi di musica

Nach Thomasik (davor Hannabach, Augustin) Nylon-Saiten, die mir etwas zu leise und weich waren, hab ich jetzt diese Carbon-Saiten aufgezogen. Auf der Elektroakustik Yamaha CGX 171CCA klingen sie wirklich super. Die Gitarre singt. Sogar die G-Saite ist nicht dumpf. Sie reagieren sehr dynamisch auf verschiedene Anschlagstärke. Die Bässe sind kräftig und auch nicht dumpf. Angeblich sind sie Normal-Tension, was aber zumindest subjektiv gar nicht stimmt. Die Saiten haben eine sehr hohe Spannung. Vibrato ist vor allem auf den Bass Saiten kaum realisierbar. Glissando ist sehr laut. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich diese Saiten auch auf eine zarte teure Konzertgitarre spannen würde, aber für mein Modell sind es bislang die mit Abstand besten Saiten. Sind hier auch bundrein. Bin begeistert vor allem von der G-Saite. Edit: Am 2. Tag, beim Üben von Läufen, also eher mäßige Beanspruchung, ist die Hohe E-Saite mittendrin (nicht am Sattel oder am Steg) gerissen. Vermutlich ein Fabrikations-Fehler.

Tuned the strings to standard tuning, but the treble strings wouldn't stay in tune. About a week later I woke up to find the strings had snapped overnight and had left a gash on my guitar's top where the strings hit the top. I regret trying these. They damaged my instrument, and were a waste of money. I've never had the treble strings snap on me before in maybe over 17 years of using D'Addario nylon strings. I cannot recommend these carbon strings. On the sound, they are brighter than the regular nylon strings I've used before. If you prefer a rounder, mellower classical sound, these won't do. If you like the brighter sound, closer to a steel string acoustic, then maybe these will work if they don't snap like mine did. They look thinner than regular nylons, and they appear to have higher tension (I bought normal tension ones), which is perhaps why they broke. Perhaps because of the higher tension, they also feel a bit louder and punchier, but not as deep.

I bought this in September (2022) but only got to string one of my classical guitars with it last Sunday (201122), looking forward to a beautiful rich sound. When I opened the packet, I noticed that the G string had a flaw in; kind of like little fray. I decided to go ahead anyway. Immediately after stringing the guitar, the sound was indeed beautiful; warm harmonics. However, the very next morning, after retuning, I discovered that all the treble strings were completely flat - dead - no harmonics whatsoever. A snare drum has a great deal more than those strings. A few minutes later… twang! The B string of all strings snaps. I restrung the guitar with Hannabachs and now my 1970 Yairi Gakki sounds beautiful again. Please note, this is not a dis of all Daddario strings. I like them and use them all the time, but this particular Carbon set is definitely a dud. Fortunately Amazon immediately reimbursed me following the return of the dud set. I would definitely NOT recommend this carbon set to my worst enemy.

TOP strings, quick delivered, good price Will order again when this one gets old
