  • Oasis GPX+ Carbon NT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    Oasis GPX+ Carbon NT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    By: Sheldon Imperio
    Great sound. Bright, loud, while being full and round at the same time. I became concerned however when I read about many people having their high E snap on them, creating dents in their guitar. When I looked at the high E toward the bridge, I noticed some sort of stretch marks as if the string could snap any moment. I then took off the string, clipped off the part with the marks, then restrung it again. The same stretch marks developed IMMEDIATELY after I tuned the string again. Needless to say, I removed the string immediately and threw it in the garbage.* The other 2 strings however are in great condition, and still sound great after a few weeks. I heard the higher tension has a less chance of snapping, but I won't bother anymore with OASIS. I will probably try a different carbon treble at high tension, since medium carbon trebles seem to be really thin and perhaps prone to snapping.

    * SBM Note 1/3/12 Confirmed: This e string problem has been corrected by Oasis.

    Sound great when you first put them on - vibrant and clear. After 2-3 days or so they lose that quality that you like. They aren't worth the money merely because of their short life span. There are other better sounding basses that last much longer such as Savarez Corums IMO

    Didn't care for the basses. They seemed to lack life and power. They were also not very deep. Very mediocre

    Trebles are probably my favorite nylon however. Nice projection and bright and will maintain their life very long. They have a nice sweetness to them but of course will not be as bright as titanium or carbon strings. They may however sound a bit metallic especially on the high E, but you will probably never find a bright and sweet string without that metallic quality. If ever, I'd mix these with different basses.

    FOR BASSES only. These are undoubtedly my favorite bass strings. I have tried La Bella 2001 which were very weak, d'addarios which seemed like nothing special, augustines blacks which died extremely fast... Why I love these basses:
    -Louder than any other bass I've tried
    -Used them for over 1 month and still maintains its lively sound
    -Deepest bass I've tried thus far and really brings out the low end
    -Nice ringy and punchy tone to it. Some may not like this quality but I personally like it because it makes the string sound alive rather than dull. Some might prefer a rounder mellower tone however
    -They are high tension, but they are surprisingly easy to press.

    Haven't tried the trebles yet.
  • D'Addario T46 Titanium HT Classical Guitar Strings TNH-3T, Treble Set

    D'Addario T46 Titanium HT Classical Guitar Strings TNH-3T, Treble Set

    By: Sheldon Imperio
    Sound excellent when you put them on. Bright and great volume which is what I wanted. Unfortunately, the brightness and projection that you love will go away after just a few days and will sound more dead like any other old string. I later found out that others said the same thing about these and other titanium strings so I personally will not bother with titanium strings anymore. Even though these strings are inexpensive, they do not make up for their disappointing life span.

    They stabilize quickly if you ever need to change string with little time before a gig. Great intonation, the same feeling of the ProArte trebles, but a little brighter.

    The basses DO last a long time, and sound very good on my guitar. Intonation is excellent.
  • Hannabach Carbon Trebles MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    Hannabach Carbon Trebles MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    By: JAMES GODING
    On classical guitars, the G string is always problematic, with a "tubby" sound.
    The Hannabach carbon G string is a big improvement.
    Highly recommended.

    By: Thomas Albertson
    If you haven't tried these strings, you owe it to yourself to try something new. I was pleased by the warmth and roundness of the sound. The strings performed like high-end strings might be exspected to perform. Overall I prefer a brighter sound and have enjoyed the Vintage Premium Bronze Wound strings. Trying out new strings and new techniques as well as new types of music are what make playing guitar enjoyable for me.
  • OLD Philippe Bosset Prestige Clear Nylon Classical, Normal Tension PRETN

    OLD Philippe Bosset Prestige Clear Nylon Classical, Normal Tension PRETN

    By: Brad DeRoche
    The Philippe Bosset set has trebles that are very similar to the Savarez New Cristals - which are have a very fine sound - though they tend to scuff up quickly. The basses were a lacking in overtones for my taste, providing a somewhat dull tonal character. They do take several days to develop, sounding much better afterward, but even when they were fully developed they never had the brilliance, power, or clarity of many other basses on the market.

    I save a set of these strings when I try another set of trebles. I like the thickness of them and changed back to them a lot by thickness alone. They have a warm mellow tone and may not be as responsive as carbon strings, but for me I don't like the feel of thin carbon trebles. They also last a long time and I can leave them on and just change the basses. I like to experiment alot but I always seem to come back to the Titanium trebles.

  • Rosette Tremolo Mute Practice Tool

    Rosette Tremolo Mute Practice Tool

    By: Aaron Wolf
    This is not worthwhile. It is adjustable but adjustments are relatively permanent, so it doesn't work with multiple guitars that may have different bridge heights. Furthermore, there's nothing special about this. The idea is fine. But the best solution is to just get a roll of rubbery stuff people use to line drawers, cut a small rectangle, roll it up into a tube. That works just as well if not better, is more adjustable, cheaper, and easy. There's no need for this specialized product.

    By: glen eckhart
    I installed the bass set and they were easy to tie on and went quickly in tune. They have a very deep rich tone which I just love. they are also thicker than the set I took off and I like that as well. If they hold up I will definitely use them again.
  • Hannabach Carbon Trebles MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    Hannabach Carbon Trebles MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Treble Set

    By: glen eckhart
    These strings are a little tricky to tie on they are very slippery and you have to make sure they have a good bite before cranking the tension. once they are on they are very responsive and quickly go in tune. They are a little smaller in diameter than what I have been using but that doesn't stop them from having a overall loud tone.
  • Hannabach Goldin 725 MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    Hannabach Goldin 725 MHT Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

    By: Alan Hahn
    I didn't buy the full set...just the treble set. These are the best trebles I've found for my guitar after trying all the D'addario types, Aranjuez, Savarez and LaBella. On my guitar, they're very loud and much sweeter than any other carbon strings I've played. I've been pairing them with the Argento pure silver basses, but I'm going to try and save some money and experiment with a full set of Goldins to see if the basses are as excellent as the trebles.

    The perfect bass set for flamenco guitar. Crispy and long lasting! At the beginning sounds a little razor, but then gives the right projection! Recommended!
