Hey everyone,

I play the spanish guitar since +o-13 years and I've tryed a bunch of different brands of strings, either for classical & flamenco playing.
I'd like to know which ones do you guys tryed so far and your opinion about them.
Especially about the D string weakness and this common disturbing difference between D & G string which you find in several famous brands.

I used to play with these most of the time:

Savarez (pink / yellow)
Savarez Alliance
Savarez Corum
Augustine (purp)
Pro Arté
Hannabach

Those two last are for now, my favorite.

How about yours ?

Thanks, I'll try to find these.. Though I'm not sure if any shop around here got 'em :x
e/ Aranjuez I might have tryed in the past, I just couldn't remember / list all.

Hi there!
I would recomend you to try D'addario, they will give you an excellent sound and will last longer in comparison with other brands.
