Pyramid Authentic Gut Classical Guitar Strings, Full Set

I was expecting 6 gut strings not the lower gut that was wrapped, do you have a source for such a thing.

These strings are perfect for my luthier built guitar. It's as if the guitar is singing,"finally, you've got the right strings" Things I like about these strings, 1. the basses don't squeak. 2. while, they require more tuning since humidity impacts them, there is no "break-in" time. 3. I like the unpolished feel of the trebles. 4. the volume is easier to control. and best, 5. All strings resonate equally.

Yes, these strings are a lot more expensive. However, from reviews I've read, they last longer, from 3 to 6 months. This is the first time I've tried these strings so time will tell if that is true for my guitar. But if that is true, I'll save about $ 40/ year on strings plus the hassle of changing strings.

Perfect for my guitarlele

I have long wanted to experience true gut strings on my classical guitar. Many positive reviews later, I took the plunge - unable to locate ANY of the $10 per string deals I read about - actually the ONLY place I found offering a whole set of catguts was the $110 PYRAMID set here at strings by mail. They arrived quickly, sat in a 73 degree 30% humidity room couple of days, then were installed. A previous set of medium gauge nylons had flawless intonation, zero fret buzz. To my EXTREME disappointment, my A and D strings have a buzz so bad, it reminds me of a vocoder effect. Very metallic. No fret divits, no nut problems, triple checked saddle - even tried shim and slightly offsetting - same difference. Started googling and read a couple posts stating "the husk of the core will buzz loudly inside its wire wrapping." referring to gut string known issues. Were they stored in an arid warehouse drying them out? Not sure, but I have triggered a retraumatization of years ago spending countless hours trying to fix tuning/intonation on an Esteban guitar repair challenge.
For what its worth, I like the friction feel, and the sound of the E and B strings are nice. The G string is a little wonky and unstable as well, but no where near as unacceptable as the A and D strings. Stretched for 5 days, capoed, tuned half and whole step lower - same buzz and intonation issues, and description is spot on from blog reports of common problems.
I HATE HATE HATE having to call merchants to complain and beg for remedy, all too often left disappointed and feeling the customer is not valued like when I was a younger man. That said, I have yet to contact strings by mail to give them a chance to make things right. Will try to update review with results, if I am able to edit my review. If they do not, I will have to replace with different strings, as I can not play buzzing, untunable strings. Sorry, no camera or mic on computer to upload examples, and too busy to buy, setup, and learn what needed to upload ATM
