Best Hannabach Goldin 725MHT Alternatives

As a luthier I equip all my classical guitars with Savarez 540R Alliance strings. The three bass strings are on a par with the best products of other quality string manufacturers like d'addario or augustine. Where the Savarez 540R Alliance stand out are the treble strings which sound brilliant and clear. Especially the G-string which usually sounds a bit dull in other string sets sounds as lively as the B- and E-string. The only criticism I sometimes get from some customers is that the treble strings feel a little bit on the thin side but I think that is rather a matter of taste then a real fault. The string are a touch on the expensive side but they are well worth it.

Son buenas cuerdas, hasta el momento las mejores cuerdas de carbono que he probado. Mantienen la entonación muy bien y son cómodas de tocar. Eso si, son algo más delgadas que cuerdas clásicas de nylon, entonces puede resultar un poco diferente al principio. Las he tenido por poco tiempo, entonces quizá esto no aplique, pero todas las cuerdas de carbono que he usado antes han durado meses antes de necesitar un cambio, aunque sean un poco más caras al cabo de un par de años recuperas la inversión porque necesitas comprar menos, veremos si aplica a estos también. Estoy satisfecho con las cuerdas, tienen propiedades favorables para tocar arpegios de forma firme y precisa.

I bought this as an upgrade from Hannabach's MT815 Black nylon strings on my Francisco Esteve classical guitar. D'Addario strings have never let me down. This is not an exception. Sound is loud and clear. Trebles are bright and crispy. But... you need some skills to set 1st and 2nd string. Usually i make two twists on the bridge for first two strings but it this time it was not enough. Strings slipped out very easily even on low tension so i had to tie a little knot at the end of the string just to be sure it stays in place. By far these are the best strings i've tried. If you want to try something different than nylon, this is it. Recommended!

My daughter has a Hanika guitar and with those strings it sounds incredible. She has Knobloch strings for competitons and playing with them feels just righ. They have well balanced tone and good dynamic range. She's also using Savarez cantiga 519MRJ, they have really nice deep resonate bass, wich is not appropriate for various classical playing, but just for certain pieces. It's important to find right strings for your guitar, with right tension. The same strings don't sound the same on different guitars and strings are of course just 10% of sound, but they add the last point and comfort when playing. I encourage you to try different strings, you might be surprised how good your guitar can sound and how easier is playing with some strings. Just one minus is high price.

This was a bit of an experiment for me. I play a 38-year-old Hans Hau classical guitar, and my preferred strings are Savarez 520F with wound G-string. The EDC34.0 MHT have a slightly heavier gauge, which takes some getting used to. The trebles are singing brightly and very pleasing, not at all dissimilar to the Savarez I am used to, while the wound base strings sound a bit more metallic, but not unpleasantly so. I would say that the only aspect where the Savarez 520F really win over the EDC34.0 MHT is the wound G-string, but then the latter are always the first to go due to their thin gauge. Let's see how the carbon fibre performs in terms of longevity; their sound is definitely worth a try.

I tried most strings out there, and I keep getting back to two sets in particular: the savarez cantiga and the daddario XT classical carbon. Although it is a very personal choice, I believe the cantiga still have the best bass strings. However I think the cantino (1st E) of the cantiga carbon is nearly unusable for a classical guitarist, way too dry and noisy. The cantiga carbon first three strings are much more sweet, while keeping a bright and punchy response. The whole set is also much more precise on my guitar: the cantiga are often off a whole 1/10th of a tone in 12th position, while the XT are nearly flawless across the entire range. The XT basses are also very beautiful, but still they lose brightness and presence quite quickly compared to the cantiga. The XT tuning settles on my...

No, don't worry, I'm not confusing this with my Ann Summers review... Happy with these strings, the 1st carbon trebles I have used, after deciding to see what all the fuss is about. Have used these for over a month now on an OK but inexpensive laminated spruce top classical. Definitely a difference in the projection of the trebles, and as new, the strings settle into the required pitch much quicker than nylons. Would be interested in the difference of a more expensive guitar. As these are high tension I am using these for slightly lower tunings like D or EB standard, or DADGAD etc. Seem to be pretty good value. I also bought the red and blue (high bass medium trebles) set from Savarez, which are yet to go on my other classical guitar. Perhaps for me ultimately there will be a hybrid...

I had a new guitar and had strung it with La Bella 2000 light for its first stringing. A good result but, sustain seemed weak. I then tried Vivace Medium tension. There is a lot of stretch in these strings and they took a while to settle down, The 1st string is thin and seemed to need a fairly high tension. There is very good sustain and richness to the tone and a good evenness in response, A very good response to harmonics. Not sure that they are right for this guitar as there is not the distinction in the notes that I would like but I find La Bella normally offer very good strings.
