Great GP classical strings

Posted by Peter G on 17th May 2012

Fitted to a Yamaha G-50 (restoring).

These strings are overall better than some "big name" brands I have used.

The wound strings in particular are solid with good harmonics and seem to be wearing well. (maybe 4 hours of scales so far)

The plain nylon take some more time to settle in (but thats normal). Take care to wrap at least 3 even 4 turns under when tieing on the top two strings.

I found the G string almost too dull at first but this improved as the entire set stretched in over a couple of days.

The tension is intuitively even, and a little higher than I expected. These would still be suitable for novice players, given help with tuning :)

Great value, particularly like the wound strings.
