[@mariamqais7179]

Wow thats really amazing , i always hear people only talking about the types thats brighter and thats darker…etc , but for a beginner who can’t experiment with all these diverse types ,You made it really easy for us to see the difference Thank you so much

Savarez Alliance HTClassic 540R Thank you very much for this!! I always forget to record the strings I like, so then I forget how they sounded and can't decide which to buy. Played D'Addario EJ45 for a long time but eventually got tired of it and have been experimenting ever since. Hung up on Savarez and Hannabach, depending on the guitar.

Great tests. Thanks for showing. Now I would know better which types that fit my different guitars. Beautiful piece!

[@ThiagoCP]

There's something off from the first example to the second one and I think it's related to the recording process, the sound gets very muddy and compressed from the first Hannabach example to the Savarez. You can clearly hear the quality degradation in the audio. That doesn't happen in the second part when you use a microphone, but I think you shouldn't have used reverb in those examples. It's a great comparison and a lot of work though so thanks!

[@vinnagames]

Happy to hear this. Seems that i'm not alone in my impressions. I hear and feel exactly as you did. By the way, great work by our friend @MarcoBrusaguitar. A must to all type of ears and musicians of course!

You're a legend for doing this thanks After many listens there's a clear winner (for my ears and listening setup with Ur guitar - so in fact prob not a clear winner at all) Hannabach 815MT. I also like the Aquila Perla and Savarez 510AJ followed by the Agustine Paragon.

Interesting test and demo of a whole lot of strings I have never tried. My question is do any of them excel at the balance between G and the other 5 strings, hard to pick this out in the videos.

It's a good video. I liked "hannabah" and a little bit of "actives". I play mostly "Ernie ball"

[@simonemillimaggi7611]

excellent work but I would like to understand if the strings were played every time as soon as they were assembled or if for each attempt they were used for a while. because as you well know some strings bring out their authentic sound only after being played for a while

[@MarcoBrusaguitar]

I mounted the strings, played to make them settle and then recorded the video

[@simonemillimaggi7611]

Grazie mille per la risposta! Mi sono iscritto al canale e ho visto che sei italiano, perdonami non mi ero accorto 😀 comunque a mio gusto personale ho preferito fra tutte le hannabach (perlomeno in questo video e sulla tua chitarra di Silvia zanchi) di solito apprezzo molto anche le corde Aquila realizzate dal grande Peruffo. Tuttavia qua mi sono piaciute davvero molto di più le hannabach forse anche per abitudine dato che sono quelle che uso di più. Ho trovato interessanti le knobloch che non ho mai utilizzato ti ringrazio davvero per gli spunti. Una muta che consiglio e con la quale mi trovo molto bene per ora sono anche le augustine imperial gold.. un saluto e buona musica a tutti 😊

Thnx for your effort

[@EkleipsisTM]

Which are the most durable ones? I wouldn't mind to pay up to $20 as long as the strings sound lasts for 6 months, if there is a set capable to maintain their sound for even longer I'd love to know

[@philen]

The strings need some time to become stable, ranging from a couple of hours playing to several hours. Any set of strings could last for years but after some time they lose intonation which is the real reason you want to switch strings before they break. If you play 20min each day you would probably need to change them in 2-3 months. If you practice more you would need to change them more often. I change about once per month - i practice betwean 20min - 4hours per day. I use hannabach 500 medium. They are dirt cheap, well rounded and lasts quite long. If I would ever perform i would buy a nicer sets of hannabach (i prefer hannabach) and let them break in for a couple of practice sessions before going on stage. Wash your hands before every session since dirty hands will make the strings lose intonation faster. I find some of the worst strings being the pro arte but that is personal - they sound nasal and ugly, have bad balance and lose intonation quickly but are somehow one of the most popular ones. I also prefer hannabach since they are typicaly more dynamic.

[@frederic_millenial]

I wonder how would sound the Philippe Bosset titane strings compared to the other.

[@maurocasanova9929]

Which do you prefer?

[@40teodor]

Aquila blue strong clear bass and trebles has excellent balance , Savarez Red alliance great trebles but not so strong bass and third the Daddario.
