La Bella 820 Elite Flamenco Guitar Strings (Red Trebles) MT, Full Set

I've used LaBella 820 for many years, and the quality is consistent. I like the flamenco character, the red color of the trebles, as well as their sharp and brilliant sound. These are great strings for my beloved Cordoba GK.

Thank you very much.

THese guitars strings with the red trebles for some reason sound great on only one of my guitars so I buy them exclusively just for it. Not so much on the others. They do have a great "feel" to them however, very bright sound if that's what your looking for

I recently ordered a set of the red 820s to try out and am finally getting to it. I make my own guitars and have been using Galli nylon strings mostly on my instruments, which I like a lot as well.

When I first installed them, I thought that the 820s seemed a little dull sounding on first tuning especially when compared with one of my other guitars with a normal nylon Galli set in them, but of course we can't know a string's true character until they have stabilised over a bit of time. After a couple of hours they were starting to sound really nice and today, a full day later, they are just great. I really like them a lot.

What I find is that that I feel as though I can dig in a little more to pull out the sound without them feeling over driven than I can on the Galli, if that makes any sense at all. I know this sort of thing is so subjective and dependent on instrument and player and other aspects. In truth, it would be hard for me to say a certain brand of string is 'bad', at least in my experience, more like they have a different character.

I have a feeling that I'll be using these strings a lot and might switch to using them generally on my instruments.
Though of course I will continue having fun trying out different strings too!

In this case I am using them on one of my own flamencos, spruce top, red mountain cedar back and sides, traditional friction pegs. Mai Rak bridge (which is a rare, not well known, Thai hardwood)

Totally love the red colour and this is the second string order I've made with strings by mail and will definitely continue ordering through them. A++!

Cheers

Got the new strings very quickly--thank you folks!--and they were exactly what I wanted. But I haven't yet installed them, but am looking forward to hear their new sound.
