Savarez 540J HT Alliance Trebles Classic Basses Accordion Accessory

I have a 1993 Takamine EP-50 made in Japan; was always a very nice guitar - but these strings really bring out the resonance of the guitar. They are very bright, the guitar is much louder now and the bass is awesome -- you can feel it resonate but it stays well under control. I found that the way I like to install these strings: Just cut off the 'loose' end on the wound strings with the blue marking. Don't need any help from the sting for tying off the block. For the three wound strings, I use one loop. For the G string I use two loops -- and for the B and E string I use three loops. At the tuners, I simply loop each string twice through the tuning peg, then cut flush later for a nice neat appearance. I keep the string as much 'in-line' as possible with the nut, so in some cases the string will wrap around the peg drifting toward the center of the headstock (D and G for example) and in other cases toward the edge of the headstock (low E and high E). Took a day or so for the strings to settle in, as expected. The guitar sounds much better now; very happy with these strings. They feel and play like normal tension strings but they sound like high tension. I have no issue with dynamic range either, they play softly very well - and when you play them loud they really project nicely.

Savares strings are the only ones I use on my nylon instruments. It's complicating ordering them because first you have to know high tension or low tension, personally I like low tension on long scale instruments and high tension on short scale instruments. Another consideration is the material that they use for the strengths some are brighter than others. Get a third thing you need to understand to order this brand is that sometimes they have hybrid sets where hybrid means different tension and lower and treble once you figure out all of the difficulties in deciding exactly what you want I'm sure you'll be rewarded with the quality of the strings I always buy a few extra D strings because they break a lot I used a pic on my nylon guitar a lot so there's that but I can't recommend these strings enough I know they're expensive but the fact is they do last twice as long as other brands

Incredible strings. A little bit more expensive than the cheapest fast food strings out there like d'addario (can't stand any d'addario classical string including pro arte) but BY FAR THE BEST STRINGS I have played in 25 years and well worth the little extra money for them. I'VE WASTED SO MUCH TIME AND CAUSED MYSELF SO MUCH FRUSTRATION BY TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BUYING CHEAP CRAPPY STRINGS THAT START OFF SOUNDING BAD AND THEN SLIP INTO SOUNDING HORRIBLE AFTER A WEEK OR SO. These last at least three times as long as the others I've played (including also La Bellas which are in my top three, these Alliances are still far superior). LAST EXAMPLE, I have a decent bottom end student student model (solid cedar top, laminate rosewood back and sides comparable to the cordoba c5/c7 range of guitars), nothing close to fancy. I just can't afford a solid guitar right now. However I listen to sound bites on Guitar Salon and elsewhere and these strings on my cheap guitar make it sound like a three to six thousand dollar instrument!

These strings are about as good as you get. If your classical guitar is constructed to handle high tension strings and you want better tone and sustain and you don’t mind tuning much less often….these strings are for you!!

I applied these to a friends beat up yamaha. I noted they were crisp and loud.

Love these strings. They are very bright and loud. While the high tension may make some players hesitant if they are used to normal tension, these strings are actually thinner than most normal tension sets (such as D’Addario). The thinner string size makes up for the high tension in my opinion. They make chords sound richer. The downside is that there is less ability to play softer, but on normal tension strings you have the opposite problem in that playing louder can create sonic issues such as buzzing. Overall, these make my La Patrie collection sound like a completely different guitar. I still go for normal tension on my true classical but for modern playing these work better for me. One thing to note is that they don’t give you a ton of extra length like some manufacturers so you have to be more precise when tying them and check to make sure you left enough slack at the other end.

I got these as a suggestion from my Luthier from Spain. These are amazing quality I highly recommend this product.

These strings are amazing! They make a huge difference in the sound of my guitar! I will never go back to other brands I have used. They are a bit pricey compared to some other brands, but they sound so much better that they are worth the extra cost. I am hoping they will hold up well.

Estás cuerdas tienen un brillo increíble y su sonido es fabuloso

The pack was sealed and the quality of the strings is good.

Buena qualidad, sona muy bien. Producto de qualidad

Bem, sobre as cordas, elas são incríveis ... já uso faz tempo e pra mim funcionam muito bem. A entrega foi bem rápida ... mas o pacote chegou bem amassado. A Amazon mandou com um envolope simples ... e as embalagens dos encordoamentos chegaram rasgasdas nas bordas ... como a Savarez usa uma caixinha ao inves de envelope, isso contribuiu pra ser menos resistente aos amassamentos durante o transporte tbm. Mas fica a dica aí pra Amazon: Coloquem numa emablagem com plastico bolha ou algo assim pra chegar inteirinho. No mais tudo certo.

No surprises since it was the exact brand/model I was looking for.
