I needed something temporary to play on until I could get my bread hooks on some real steel. These have a surprisingly tender sound, and are perfect for beginners (not me, my friends son, you're reading the review of a gen-u-wine, ar-teest!) Ended up being more than I thought they'd be.

These work and sound great on my guitalele.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022

Pattern Name: StringsStyle: Single PackVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I bought these for my Caramel 6-string guitalele, and they're the perfect balance of tone, playability, and smoothness.
This is one of those "Goldilocks stories" of going through many sets of nylgut, nylon, tied-end as well as ball-end classical strings of varying tensions.
The Aquila strings that were 'intended' for use on the guitalele (and tuned a perfect 4th above standard guitar tuning) snapped on my during the first few hours of play.
D'addario classical strings worked okay, but the standard tension was too loose and rubbery, and the hard tension set was brutal on the fingers at the higher pitch.
These are perfect. I had them tuned to the '4th above rule' - ADGCEA, but the high A felt a bit too stiff.
By lowering the pitch a half-step to G#C#...., I found the perfect balance.
The ball ends on these worked out perfectly, and yes they took a few days to stretch out, but they stay very stable during play. They're also very reasonably priced.

Initial stretchiness.....

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014

Pattern Name: StringsStyle: Single PackVerified Purchase

I really like these so far. I put them on a 40+ year old 3/4 size Yamaha I haven't played in years. I agree the G string is a bit dull, hence the 4 vs 5 stars. They have been on for less than 24 hours, so I will post an update if it changes. For those going from a metal string acoustic and trying these for the first time, be advised they stretch........a lot. Classical guitar tuning pegs are a little thicker than steel string acoustic pegs and you will find yourself cranking a lot on the peg to get them to pitch. I stretched them a bit after first tune and repeated the tune, stretch a few times. I finally got it close then let it sit over night. They had pretty much lost two full steps when checked the next day, re-tuned, re-stretched, then tuned again. They finally seem close to holding pitch. Kind of a pain, but I LOVE the tone. It will be worth it in the long run. In 40 years of guitar playing, I have tried many, many different brands of strings. I always go back to Ernie Ball for 6 string acoustic and electric. These seem to carry on my faith in them.

10/25/2014- I am adding an addendum to this after having them on my guitar a while. I still like them, the g string is still a little dull. There isn't a whole lot of volume on my guitar from these. However, the reason behind this is not the strings, and anyone putting these on a non-classical acoustic will more than likely have the same experience. Classical guitars, in general, are a lot lighter than steel string acoustics. Primarily because they don't have all of the x-bracing internally. The sound board (the top or face of the guitar) is also usually a little thinner and lighter. Consequently you will not get the brightness you may expect from a true classical.

Lost the G string putting them on

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023

Pattern Name: StringsStyle: Single PackVerified Purchase

I will purchase again in the future and revise my review accordingly, but they didn't survive the initial tune. I fully admit I'm human and it could have been my error, but this isn't my first rodeo. G string popped. Grabbed something from a "local" music shop (45 minutes away) and they went in fine. Will definitely order and try again.

Worth my every penny, though I'm on a buget

Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2020

Pattern Name: StringsStyle: Single PackVerified Purchase

Great strings for the price.

Texture:
Personally, I felt that these strings are a great fit for beginners because they are very soft to the fingers, and are really easy to use since they are all-hands.

Sound:
Compared to the regular metal strings, these nylon strings produce a much warmer, blended sound. They don't sound as satisfying if you are playing by picks because they don't produce that bronze tone, its a lot softer.

Tuning (Disclaimer)!
For beginners who doesn't know this, nylon strings are really easy to get out of tune, especially new ones. Because the strings are built to be soft and flexible, the strings have a hard time holding together which results in stretching the strings (= getting out of tune).

It would take about 2 weeks (depending on how often you play your gutair) for the strings to be completely stretched out and to stat in tune.

Overall quality:
I LOVE THESE STRINGS! Sounds exaggerating I know, but these are very great strings in general. Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or professional. Great for school used too.

If your looking for softer strings that will help you get use to playing the gutair then these ones are pretty damn good for their price.

Changing from Steel strings to Nylon strings on an acoustic Guitar.

Reviewed in Australia on February 12, 2024

Pattern Name: StringsStyle: Single PackVerified Purchase

I had steel strings on my Acoustic Guitar but wanted to give Nylon Strings a go. I had ones many years ago. Happy to say at present all is well. Got them on after taking the steel strings off.
If any one else does the same I would recommend adjusting the strings slowly on and off over a few days. give them time to stretch out. So far so good.
