143C Orchestra Classical : Nice and warm sound, bad marketing
I purchased this set to calm my dire needs for a bass guitar.
The string set came nicely packaged and I could fit it without difficulties. The installation of the low E string was a bit strange but in the end it worked nicely. The high E string felt really nice to the touch, it had a silky matte surface.
Feel:
I have big hands and with this set I could finally really feel each string and where my finger is exactly on the string.
Sound:
All strings were tuned an octave below regular tuning, this produced a quite warm feel. It must be my ears, but I had difficulties hearing the pitch of notes the low E string in the first position. I had to apply more force plucking that string to hear it properly. There was a volume step for me between low E and A string, hence the 4 stars. I really liked the tone of the high E on any note.
Conclusion:
After three weeks I changed back to regular nylon strings as I was missing regular guitar tonal range more than I was enjoying the warm bass sounds. If I ever have the opportunity to upgrade my classical guitar I will put a set of these on the second one and keep it forever as a six string short scale nylon bass guitar. But for someone with only one guitar this is only a rather expensive gag.
