Back to nylon strings, sorry to say, but Aquila has made something even superior and I am blown away by these new strings:
Mimmo from Aquila kindly sent me a new string he has created. The Granato strings.
Before the trebles of the Granato strings were the same as the Rubino strings. These were unique in employing metal dust in a nylgut polymer to increase the density of the strings. I loved them. But...
The Granato strings have metal dust and his new polymer made from sugar.
These strings are the very best I have ever tried on a nylon string guitar. The are bright, powerful, sustain more than anything else, and have great tone.
Mimmo has these in his 'flamenco' section on his website. I can see why as I can imagine that some classical purists will not entertain the brightness, but I think others will. You should try these if just to see how Aquila are moving things forward with string innovation.
Mimmo tells me that all the Granato strings with the label 'March 2019' are these strings.
