Nicola Classical Guitar Strings

From bread and pastries to guitar strings? Perhaps that’s not a straight line, but it is how Nicola Strings came to be. Guitarist and mandolinist Nicola Sfarzo left his native Italy for a better life in America, where he became a baker. But an accident took his sight, and with no other options, he turned to his music to provide for his family.

On the heels of his performing career, members of the Sfarzo family took on the task of manufacturing strings, and family members still run the company to this day. Nicola strings are used and praised by classical, jazz and rock players; among the lattermost is Steve Howe, who says, “These strings not only sound great and perform wonderfully, the tone lasts for days. I can depend on them at every show and in the studio.”

We ask you, who would argue with someone who owns more than 125 guitars? Answer: No one. Thank you Steve.
