HPS : A revelation

I purchased these strings because I was so impressed with a set of Hofner 'Sienna' classical strings that I had fitted to a vintage Masaru Matano M60 guitar. As these HPS strings are double the price of the Sienna strings I wanted to know how much better they were. I suppose for a fair comparison I should have tried the HPS on the same instrument but as my Hanika P56 was due for a re-string I used that.

I am absolutely impressed and delighted with the sound. Rich bass tones, clear trebles (even the G3), good balance and intonation. If it were not for that free set of 'Sienna' strings I would never have considered Hofner classical strings (Savarez being my usual choice) but I will be buying them again to try on different instruments.

I would be happy to not have the spare D4 string if that meant the price could be lowered to around €10.
