Regal Blue strings come highly recommended by Kolya, and I also find that they bring out the best in my guitar. These strings offer a wide range of color possibilities and excellent projection. Personally, I replace the third string with the Savarez Alliance KF 543J, which makes the transition between the second and fourth strings smoother. -

Year 2005 Instrument type Flamenco Builder / Manufacturer Lester DeVoe Instrument Model Flamenca negra Top wood Spruce Side wood Rosewood Back wood Rosewood Player Robin Matsunaga StringsComment
The top is carved very thin for responsiveness and volume, but the top flexibility accentuates bass response. The Savarez corum basses are not as strong as the Cantiga, while the HT Alliance carbon trebles offset the bass response of the negra. I have not been able to find any other combination that provides such a balanced sound for this model. -

Savarez strings have a great tone for their price, intonation is always spot on on my guitars, and the last a long time compared to others in the price range. The Corums seem to have a warmer tone than the Alliance sets.
