La Bella 2001 Flamenco Guitar String Medium Tension .029-.042

The first thing noticed was that pure flamenco sound as soon as i performed some rasgueados. The bass strings have an awesome sound that when doing pulgar techniques will make your notes pop. Very addictive sound from these flamenco strings. Will be ordering more soon !

Strings sound awesome.

These strings deliver almost exactly what I was looking for. The trebles are resonant and projecting and the basses are bright. For reference, my flamenco guitar is a Cordoba F10 which generates a great sound and is very playable, but the basses tend to be very percussive (which some people like, where I prefer a brighter bass). These strings did the trick and the sound is great. One thing to note about the LaBella strings is that the low tension is more of a "normal" tension from other string manufacturers (judging by the actual lbs of tension on the string itself). I was looking for a low tension string, but normal is fine; however, that is part of why I deducted 1 start. The second reason is the price. These are relatively expensive strings for what you get. I would say that the D'Addario flamenco set is just about as good (basses not quite as bright) and substantially less.

Amazing guitar strings. I love the black colored treble strings too.These strings sounded amazing since I got them in the mail in January 7th. The D string ripped three days ago, but it was my fault as I should have replaced them already. I play Flamenco(mostly bulerias), and some classical every single day.The sound is so rich. I don't have any other creative way of being able to explain it. I usually buy D'Addarios but these blew them out of the park. Picado, alzapua, tremolo, and everything else sounds amazing with these strings. I plan on getting Tomatito strings next to keep on testing what works best on my Cordoba guitar. It might sound better on some guitars than on others, but for my model, it has worked great.

These strings have a nice tone for the tension and I really like them on a guitar that has had issues with the bridge because of that reason. For the price and quality these are great low tension strings that retain a clarity of sound for a long time.

Muy buen sonido.

I really like the sound and feel of these low tension basses. They are easier to play, but sound expressive and sweet. Not floppy. But the trebles weren't good quality or good for me at all. The 3rd string was defective, wouldn't intonate and was defective in its tuning stability generally as well. And trebles feel hard on the finger tips and much less comfortable than thicker strings rated at more tension from a regular nylon set. I did get some quick wear on the wound 4th string, but nothing other than a visual issue so far. In the future, I might buy just this bass set where I can get them, and pick other strings for the trebles. At the moment I have the basses paired with some daddario moderate tension rectified trebles (their low tension for rectified) which I lightly polished (carefully) with very high grit micro mesh pads to ease off some of that finger noise.

They have a great tone and after the initial period of stretching minimal tuning is required, I would recommend these strings to anyone who plays classical or flamenco. My guitar is 46 years old and these strings made it sound as sweet as possible. I have the satisfaction of knowing they will last a long time, unlike their steel string counterparts (that require string changes three times as often). So if you're needing a great string, go no further. The LaBellas are perfect.
