I almost always use D'Addario normal or hard tension depending on the guitar. Best bang for the buck strings if you ask me and on par with any other.

I've been using La Bella 2001 medium hards on my Cordoba C9 parlor for the last year or so. They're maybe a little dark, but not too much so. The tone is rich, and the tension about right for the guitar.

Augustine Imperial (medium nylon trebles) + Augustine Blue (high wound basses) or Augustine Red (medium wound basses). Carbons sound like fishing line...

Inse Oasis carbon high tension on my New World Player. They sound less muddy than other strings I've tried and the difference between the wound 4th and the carbon 3rd is about the smoothest I've heard.

Aquila Ambra, because the G is good. Most strings I've tried, the G sounds tubby and lacking brightness.

in High tension. That is the string set that I use. Came originally with my Cordoba C7 Cedar and after experimenting with D,Addario, La Bella, Agustine and others went back to Savarez as they have the best sound on my guitar Regards Norman2

Ditto for me. Savarez 510AR Cantiga. Normal tension. They sound great on my Cordoba GK Pro Negra & C10 crossover.

I also use Savarez 510AR Normal Tension, no finger nails.
Another question, do you play with fingernails or skin and does this effect the type of strings that sound best for you. With fingernails do you need brighter trebles, and visa versa if you don't use fingernails does the use of Cristal trebles help with bringing out the trebles. |

D'Addario Pro Arte hard tension, sometimes a mix of sets, but as I'm down to just the Cervantes Crossover at the moment, I don't have many different sets on hand as I did when I had multiple nylon string guitars. |

no nails for me... mine are too thin to grow long enough to use.
I tried the Cristal trebles and they were okay, but the Alliance trebles with the Cantiga bass seem to be brighter on my guitars Dave Quote:

I use D'Addario Pro Arte hard tension on my old Oskar Teller 6/P. I like them because they last a long time. The sound is ok, but I prefer Savarez (hard tension), but can't use them since they fray and break too much. I'm not a classical player, but more of a folk/blues player and I play really hard - somtimes even with a pick (Willie Nelson style).
I'd love to have the sound of savarez, but the durability of the Pro Artes... I'm thinking about trying Aquila's classical strings, but I don't know which set - they make so many. Perhaps the Alabastro nylguts. Anyone have any experience with those?

I've been pretty consistent with my use of D'Addario Pro Artes for classical over the years, and had been using them on my flamenco guitars as well. But early this year I tried the Luthier Populare 20 sets on the flamencos and find them to have more brilliance, sizzle, and liveliness. I'm doubtful that they last longer than the Pro Artes, but tone is everything for me. I've also tried other flamenco strings, but so far I keep coming back to the Luthier strings. In fact, I just ordered six more sets from Strings By Mail this morning. I tend to be a stock-piler... so my plan is to keep stocking-up until I have 10-20 sets of those in my string drawer.

I don't think I can get the luthier strings here in sweden, but I can get them on mail order rom germany it seems. Might be worth checking out. I'm not a flamenco player, but I like the brightness of the flamenco sound, and my Oskar Teller is pretty bassy so it could use some brightening.
