Very good

Very good strings, make it very easy to avoid string noise even for a player like me

First time and maybe a new favorit

I was surprised of the clarity of the sound. Never tried them before and the 3rd string is wounded so I'll see if they'll last for long (that's why I put 3 stars for the fabrication)

I like soft mellow sound and I'll soon see if they will mellow down a bit.

Perfect!

This set fits perfectly with my fretless classical guitar. Wound G string provides a balance for playability. It sounds pretty good as well. I like it and probably keep them for my fretless classical guitar.

fine

I needed to restring my Nylon Fretless guitar. I thought that having flat wounds strings would make it much nicer to play. But honestly, I can't tell the difference. From what I can feel and hear, I could have used standard classical guitar strings and payed less than half the price of these.

100% suits my purpose

I play a custom built triple-neck guitar which one of the necks is a fretless and I was looking for an untraditional sound for it for quite a while. I needed the sound to be a bit closer to that of lute or even an Oud and these strings fulfil the purpose, though they could be more resonant or louder which to my ear is the only downside of it. other reason they don't produce a traditional classical/flamenco sound (and they're not meant to be) is that since they're flat-wound, they don't make that typical scratch noise while you slide your finger over the string. if you're looking for an untraditional/atypical sound to add to you acoustic guitar, this is the way to go. they 100% suit my purpose

Stunning

If you're used to classical strings, these are a little different.

There's a decrease in volume, but a significant increase in clarity & separation.

The feel is still nylon but with a definite move towards a steel string feel, the strings are where you left them & they're less likely to move from under your fingers.

If you're into folk & nylon, these could be the only strings you'll ever need.

They'll definitely change the sound of your classical guitar & you may like that (or not)

I really enjoyed these strings ?
