Its features includepromptness of attack,excellent performances and a trulyremarkable stability ofintonation under moisture changes. The Alabastro Basses, wound with high quality silver-plated copper, consist of a Supernylgut multifilament core that ensures not only a high resistance to tensile stress but also a low absorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweat.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila's famous Nylgut strings. The synthetic material Super Nylgut ("synthetic gut") have the same acoustic properties as gut - but without its typical defects - (high cost, limited duration and high instability under varying climatic). Nylgut has precisely these qualities: allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century masters; and guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings.

i was thrilled to get my strings only to realize they were beginner tension/strength. The product name on amazon is not appreciably indicative of which tension you are getting. very nice feel, almost as tacky as rubber

Hard to review a product given this combination of factors - on the one hand, as strings, I think they sound beautiful. Lively, bright, and vivacious, but somehow ancient, too. Easier to play than the D'addarios I tried before this.On the other, the high E string split and broke during the initial setup with it. It split near the bridge, so I was able to cut it right at the split, flip it around, and was able to still string it up. It hasn't broken yet, but that's really not what you want to happen with a brand new string. It snapped when it was around the B pitch of the 2nd string, so still 2 1/2 steps away from its final tension when it split.

Mi sembrano avere un bel suono nonostante siano a bassa tensione. Forse sono anche più facili

J'utilise ces cordes sur ma guitare romantique. Solide, agréable au touché et économique

These are, in my opinion, the best sounding classical guitar strings, at least among many others I have tried. They don't last long, but last enough to be worth buying. I keep buying them.

I’m not sure what people like about these strings, but they do not compare well to Augustine Blacks (Which I normally play). I just could not find any redeeming sound out of these… personal preference I am sure.

la afinación en mi guitarra (una guitarra sencilla de estuido entorno 300 euros) es perfecta. en todos y cada uno de los trastes. esto es afinando a 432 hz. lo ideal para tocar música barroca y renacentista. e ideal para tocar sin uñas.estoy muy contento con el sonido, cálido pero vigoroso. el vibrato mejor que en cualquier cuerda de nylon. la facilidad del pisado de traste es asombrosa y siendo tension baja no pierden potencia de sonido. estoy francamente contento con esta compra. no puedo todavia hablar de la durabilidad, pero me dan muy buena impresión.si algo se desestabilizara con el tiempo, lo comentaré.

Ich habe zwei Alabastro Light Tension Sätze auf zwei verschiedenen Gitarren ausprobiert. Die Saiten gefallen mir sehr gut, insbesondere die Diskantsaiten. Heller als standard Nylon aber nicht so hell wie Carbonsaiten. In meinen Augen ein sehr guter Kompromiss, vereint die Vorteile beider Saiten technologien.Die Saitenspanning ist relativ gering, was Ermüdungserscheinungen in der linken Hand vorbeugt. Ich würde sagen in der Mitte zwischen D'Addario EJ43 und EJ45.Die Saiten halten die Stimmung extrem gut, nach dem sie sich stabilisert haben. Während des Spielens steigt die Tonhöhe nur minimal bis gar nicht. Das permanente Nachstimmen in der ersten Viertelstunde entfällt. Sogar von einem Tag zum anderen braucht man nur wenig oder gar nicht nachstimmen. Das habe ich so noch nicht erlebt.Wenn man die Saiten aufzieht dehnen sich die Saiten sehr. Man muss sehr viel auf die Mechanik wickeln. Das ist an sich kein Problem, man muss nur sicherstellen das genug Platz auf der Rolle ist. Die Lebensdauer der Saiten würde ich als hoch angeben. Ich habe die Saiten deutlich länger gespielt als andere Sätze.
