Pyramid Nylon 4-stars Reviews

My humble favorite strings

I keep buying these year after year. For me these are the bread and butter of nylon strings: anything noticable better would probably cost triple of these.

Cheap, decent strings but not the best sound and VERY low tension.

I decided to test these strings because of the low price and also because I've been happy with other Pyramid products in the past. I didn't expect much at this price but I wanted to give them a fair chance.

The first problem was the length of the A and D-strings. They weren't too short but it was VERY close. You really need to make sure you don't waste too much string at the bridge. You could easily run out of string length at the tuning pegs. Seriously, how much can it cost to make the A and D-strings just 2-3 cm longer? I tested two sets and both were the same: The A and D-strings were just barely long enough.

The tuning stability was fine once the strings had settled. The sound was ok but with a noticeable lack of clarity compared to the strings I normally use (which to be fair cost 4 times as much). I would consider these strings more than adequate for practise but I wouldn't use them for recordings or concerts.

The main problem for me was the tension though. These strings have much too low tension for my taste. I guess I was fooled by the fact that Pyramid call them "medium" tension. I guess I should have checked the actual tension figures. These strings are more like ultra low tension from most other brands (except possibly D'Addario who also like to call their low tension strings "normal" and "hard"...).

If you like low tension strings and want something cheap for practise you will probably be very happy with these strings.

If you want the best possible sound or like strings that most manufacturers would refer to as "medium" tension... keep searching, these strings are not for you.

Decent Strings

This set took sometime for the strings from slippage and required adjustments with the turn keys. However, I found the tonal quality similar to other sets I used twice in cost. Their durability at the stress point, bridge, exceeded twice as long before breakage. Perfect if you are on a budget or need to keep spare strings.

Great for the price.

Excellent quality strings for the price. Still have decent tone.

Decent quality for the price

I bought these strings for the guitar my son is learning to play on. The sound is fine and the strings seem to hold up fine.

trebles are not as good as I expected

Good quality

Good quality for reasonable price. My guitar likes when the strings are from the high class and it produces much richer sound.

Cheap and playable

Good for their price range.

Nice and correct

I like these strings, as they are cheap and good: they are better than cheap models on the big brand names. And they endure more, now I see (after 1 year).

Good but break easily

After using them for a week (about 1-2 hours a day), the 1st string broke. I changed them and the same thing happened again after 1 week. It seems that the nylon is kinda crisp. This does not happen with more expensive strings. But well, sometimes you just have to change them, even if none breaks because the silver and copper wears off.

The sound is acceptable, it's flat, but not worse than the cheaper d'addario's.

The strings are great for practice for technique, but not for performance.

Cheap solution!

I put this strings to an old guitar i have and is just fine.Not the best sound nor the best quality but you will play with no problem.

excellent product for the price

i personally use these set of strings for practice where you want to keep costs low. a huge andvantage of this product is that it can last for quite long. If you take care of your strings this can last fo up to two weeks and still look like new. l play at least 5 hours per day and i change strings every second week.

Solid strings

Decent enough strings. Easy to fit with an alright sound.

Took a little longer to settle than usual but are fine now. Great value for money.

Quick and easy cheap set but very good value.

I managed to use this set for my classic guitar for a very long time no matter I bought it very cheap here and for that reasons I was having some doubts about the quality. Normally one would change the strings set let say monthly but at times, when you're playing occasionally, don't change it so frequently ;-).

For that reason, no matter the whole set sits for long mounted on my guitar, their sound was not getting dull neither the metal covered strings rusted.

I may say you can even buy a bunch of them all thogether, always resulting in a cheap price, to allow to change them frequently for almost no money and have a very good sound and easy smooth strings to play with.

All in all I recommend those for sure. Cheers.

Not Bad At All

Nice easy strings on the fingers, easy to string up on the bridge , and bed in fairly quick, they are a handy set of strings to have but i wouldn't be to quick to do a gig with them

I use them on an old beat up guitar and they are great on it

Cheap as chips and do the job, what more do you want for the price

I would Recommend, buy these just for playing around the house job done !!!!!

cheap acoustic sounds lovely.

I put these on an acoustic I bought for 5?.

they make it sound beautiful. take a bit of bedding in but sound so well even on my old fireworks box. great to the touch and easy to manipulate when tying onto the bridge.
