Ordered new strings

I like the tone of Alexandra Whittingham's guitar so I looked up what strings she uses. According to Google it's Augustine Regal Blue. Ok I ordered a couple of sets to try out.

When I was a little kid I watched Superman and Mighty Mouse on tv. My mom made me a cape to run around the house with so I could pretend to be my heros.

I see a pattern here.

Let us know how you like them!
Have you tried any of the Aquila strings?

I did, but I didn't care for what I tried - Aquila Nylgut Superior.

They have a lot of different and unique formulas of their treble strings. For one thing its good that there are choice, but on the other hand they don't work for everyone and trying everything can be a bit of a chore.

I find their Zaffiro set to be great, bright(er) in a good way without losing the traditional touch. Hardly into the carbon realm, but not traditional nylon either.

I prefer Augustine strings and I also like Alexandra Whittingham's playing. Well crafted videos and she does not emote as much as a lot of classical players, lol.
