La Bella 427's
I just put on a set of these medium tension strings and am pretty happy after about an hour or so of them being on the guitar.
My guitar is a 1981 Yamaha G-255sii (Cedar top - laminate rosewood b&s). I had a bone saddle put on it a year ago just after I bought it, but cannot remember if the nut is bone or not. But I'm really liking the sound of these strings. The G string is the only one that's going out of tune to any degree. The others are already settling in. The sound is nice. Basses somewhat rich, the treble E and B strings are fairly bright, and the G is not "muddled" which I've found to be the case in other brands. I'm a big fan of Galli Genius titanio trebles, which give a brighter sound which I prefer. I also like the Savarez 520R bass strings. My previous set was Hannabach 728 HT's of which the D string broke while stringing up. They do sound good, but are priced a good bit higher than the La Bella's. Again these are initial observations, and I am fairly new with playing nylon strings, having bought this guitar last June. So I'm by no means an expert, so all has to be taken with that in mind. But, I like 'em. I decided to record the sound of the strings with a simple version of the Adagio de Concierto de Aranjuez. Hope this was helpful to others. Bob |
I have always been a fan of D'Addario EJ46's. Recently I purchased a new guitar strung with La Bella medium hard tension strings. After a month or so I changed back to the EJ46's.
They in no way compared to the La Bella's. The La Bella's are much richer and fuller. Through the years I've tried a lot of different strings and I think the La Bella's are the best I've used to date. My only complaint is that the G string never seems to settle down. It goes sharp more so then the D'Addario's ever did. But it's crisp and clear and I'll put up with it. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with these strings. Kirk Sand told me the best G string that he has found is an Alliance Savarez SOL- G- 543 J. You can buy them as a sing string. I haven't tried them yet. |
My next door neighbor is a luthier, who plays classical guitar. He recommended Labella Medium Tension Flamenco strings. It makes my Alvarez Yairi sing. It's a different guitar.
