Noticeable intonation issues
Review by [email protected] on 13 May 2025 review stating Noticeable intonation issues These strings are ok, but I actually get better intonation out of the less-expensive standard Solera Flamenca set. The main difference I can see is that these are a slightly smaller diameter across all of the strings except the first, compared to the standard set. This does allow for raspier basses, if you're looking for that. It may also be because my flamenco guitar has a 655mm scale length, and many flamenco guitars have a 660mm scale, so these strings could be great on a slightly longer instrument - pure speculation. However, on my instrument, I can get these strings perfectly in-tune at the open position, and then I get some really dissonant-sounding intervals at the 5th fret or higher. With the standard Solera Flamenca set, those same intervals sound sweet and in-tune. From a timbre perspective, the basses were fairly bright the first couple of days, and then mellowed down. The trebles started somewhat dark, and their character has remained the same.
