Guitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ45LP - Nylon Guitar Strings - Silver Plated Wrap, Composite Core, Clear Nylon Trebles - Lightly Polished, Normal Tension

These are the best things I've ever played. I ordered them expecting only to get strings that made less squeak noise. To my delight they are more than that. 1. The tone from these strings is amazing, with beautiful, rich warm tones but not too dark. 2. They feel great. Very smooth. 3. Virtually no left hand squeak noise. 4. With their gold/copper hue they look fairly good. They come with 2 G strings, a composite and a clear nylon. The composite is not bad but I prefer the clear nylon. The basses steal the show, but the trebles are very nice. I highly recommend these strings.

Describing why we like a particular type of guitar strings is hard because the criterion is different for each person, guitar, playing style and stage of development of each musician. When I was young and played only electric, my choice of strings was easy - Ernie Ball Super Slinky! Years and many guitars later I discovered Elixir Poly Webs for my mahogany and Nano-webs for my cedar acoustic guitars. But, by far the most difficult strings to find have been those for classical guitars. Now, I have finally found a perfectly-balanced set, that minimize string-squeak, are easy and delightfully tactile for both fretting and playing hands, and exquisitely responsive to the slightest nuances of pressure and attack. My playing style requires very low action, but without any buzzing. I have to extensively work on the neck and frets myself to achieve this and am usually successful at these alterations, but I have no control over strings; they are as the come out of the package. Finally, after trying almost every manufacturer and type of classical strings I have found nirvana! These strings are easy to fret, no buzzing, easy to pluck, strum, glissando, bend, tap, and pick, all the while in perfect intonation and balance. in particular, the G string has been tamed by D'Addario's inclusion of a special type of nylon for this string. No longer do I have to struggle to tame the loudness of the G string; it is part of the team now, instead of the prima-donna it usually is. At the same time, my picking hand is delighted by the elasticity and touch; not too hard, not to soft, but responsive to every need. All praise to the D'Addario folks for answering my desire for the perfect strings. Will they be right for you? Only one way to know for sure...

I am new to nylon strings having just bought my first classical guitar from Kremona. It came with their own strings which sounded okay. I was not sure if they were newer or had been on the guitar while in storage so I decided to purchase a new set and went with these based on some reviews I read. Also because the set comes with two different G strings and the G string on my new guitar sounded a bit flat to me. When I installed the set I used the composite version and played it for a week or so then switched to the clear nylon one that came with the set. I ended up liking it a lot more than the composite one. Seemed more consistent, responsive and natural sounding to me. That said I am not overly impressed by the sound of these strings. I have never been a fan of D'Addario in general and do not use them on any of my steel string acoustics. They always seem to fall short to me. Again I don't have a lot to compare them too at this point outside of videos I watch of people playing acoustics and the sound they get using different model strings. Now had I gotten two sets of strings for $21, I might feel different about these strings. I simply can't justify the cost that is easily double the average cost of nylon strings. I am going to try some different models until I find the sound and responsiveness I am looking for, so it's not likely I will be able to judge their longevity. Again not knowing much about longevity of nylon strings. Taking all that into consideration I would go 3-1/2 stars to be honest, but give the nod to four. Still I would suggest experimenting with lower cost strings before making the leap to a $21 set.

I recently bought a set of D'Addario Pro Arte EJ46LP Hard Tension Classical guitar strings on Amazon. My main reason for purchasing them was to try out the lightly polished silverplated bass strings which when they are broken in have a very beautiful tone, & have little or no string noise when playing, so if you want to record they are ideal.The trebles are great as well. They are well worth the money (& on Amazon they are cheaper!)and last 2-3 times longer than other strings. I will purchase them again.

The only classical strings I ever use for recording. They have great tone and balance (at least to me, and I don't use the polymer G). The finger noise reduction is amazing, although I see that many folks up here complain about the variance in bass string color (it's a side-effect of the noise-reduction polishing process). Those people should just buy the cheaper EJ45s, which have pretty silver bass strings. In the studio I could care less if my bass strings look pretty, I care about how they record.

I had stopped playing my classical guitar because, compared to my steel string acoustic, it sounded really dead. And no, it's not a cheap, factory made guitar. But with these Pro Arte strings, the sound is 1000% better, especially the highs, which ring clearly and sweetly. Don't know how long they'll last, though, as they've only been on for a couple of weeks. I also like that they give you two G strings - one nylon and one composite - so you can choose which you like the best. I put on the nylon and it sounds good so I haven't bothered to try the composite one yet.

These strings are definitely a step up from regular ej45 in my opinion on terms of smoothness but honestly the graphic showing the windings is a little misleading. doesn't truly feel flat wound but is quieter than normal set

Probabilmente a causa di un difetto di fabbricazione, la terza corda in composite è saltata subito appena montata, pertanto ho chiesto il reso e la sostituzione del prodotto che, tanto gentilmente quanto rapidamente, è stato subito accordato. Ottime le corde, tengono benissimo l'accordatura. I bassi perdono presto, dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo, quello sgradevole, metallico suono iniziale. La terza corda sostitutiva la raccomando assolutamente.

Ich hatte diese Saiten eine lange Zeit, bin dann aber zu anderen gewechselt, weil ich neugierig war. Nun bin ich wieder zurück, obwohl der Preis zwischenzeitlich deutlich gestiegen ist. Aber es sind einfach "meine" Saiten. Die ersten Tage klingen sie nicht besonders. Aber wenn sie sich dann eingespielt haben ... der Hammer! Gespielt auf "Ramirez Cedar Anos 125".
