D'Addario Classical Guitar Strings, XT Dynacore Coated, XTC46FF, Hard Tension, Carbon Trebles, 6-String Set, Pack of 1

If you use the Standard J45ff Normal tension carbon, these are the extended life XTC Normal Tension set. They set easy and stay in tune quickly. Nice feel to them too. I use them on my de Jonge double top and have a nice bell like bright tone. Plenty of projection and sustain. I also purchased a normal tension set of XTC J46tt Titanium trebles for use on my de Jonge spruce top. They are also excellent strings. I noticed slightly more volume on my spruce top. The trebles are slightly thicker and seem to have more body and not as thin sounding as the as the J45FF carbons. I think they also have a faster feel IMO. Great projection without any noticeable loss of sustain.

These are my ordered strings. The feel is better than other strings I have used. I like the gauge, and the sound produced. Not to twangy like a steel string, not dull and lifeless. I play 1 to 2 hours a day and they lasted me about 2 1/2 months.

After trying several sets of strings, I finally tried this set. The tension is just right for my 60 year old Yahama classical guitar. The sound is clear. Unlike some sets I tried which took many days before they would stay in tune, this set took only one day.

The strings gave my guitar a nice sound. However, they are a bit thin and tend to break--mostly strings 1 and 2. But, I was able to use the rolled up string to restring them. We'll see how long it lasts.

Excelentes

Exactly as expected. Basses are a tad twangy for my taste but I'm sure they'll settle down a bit. Only the low E string had the lightly coiled end for tying your knot but I didn't have any trouble tying the A and D strings without it.

I love coated strings. I used to drive me crazy how fast the bass strings would turn on my classical. These will still turn, but they last several months instead of several days - huge win IMO!. My guitar also had some intonation issues, and the thinner treble strings really help with that. My classical still doesn't have as perfect of intonation as my electrics, but these string make it "good enough" to not be an issue.

I like the ProArté strings much better. I am sure these work great for a lot of people, and I absolutely LOVE the XS strings on my steel string guitars, but these? These were so slippery in 4,5, and 6 strings, that I had to do DOUBLE the over and under loops to keep them on the bridge of my Cordoba. And, yeah, I found that out when standard ties gave way while tuning up. Why beat around the bush: I hate these strings. Again, they are perfect for someone, I am sure, but just not me. I just ordered the D'Addario ProArtés and can't wait to change these out.
