728HT Classical Guitar Strings : Almost a great string set

10 years ago

I have tried these on two different guitars; a Yulong Guo Chamber (£3000) and a Juan Hernandez Romance (£2300), with almost identical results. I found that they took a long time to stretch and settle (particularly the G 3rd string) compared to other brands that I use on a regular basis (mainly Savarez).

When fully stretched and settled the sound is good, with dynamic bass and clear trebles except (again) the G 3rd string, which sounded muted on both guitars.

This is a common phenomenon with low priced strings and low priced guitars, which is not the case here. On both instruments I removed the G 3rd strings and replaced them with 'Savarez Alliance HT'; the improvement was immediate.

I know that Hannabach make much more expensive strings but this experience has put me off trying them.
