Hannabach Classical Guitar High Tension Nylon/Silver, 815-HT

Since 25 years, the strings almost perfect for me.

I installed these on my Kenny Hill Hauser '37. They are much better than the other two Hannabach models I tried; these were not defective as the others were (D strings). The 815HTs are very responsive. The high E and B strings are clear and bell-like with great sustain. The G is a bit weak and muddy (this is the third Hannabach model I've tried and all had poor G strings). The D, A, and low E have a sort of metallic sound, not the deep bass I'm used to. Also, unlike other Hannabach sets I've tried, these intonate very well. This set comes with an extra D string - don't know why (maybe because Hannabach has trouble with their D strings as evidenced on the other two models I've tried?). There are two reasons these did not get a 5-star rating from me: Weak G and bass strings not very rounded or full in sound.

Nice basses. The trebles were so-so (not great... I ended up recording with Savarez - for clarity and sustain).

Wonderful tone -- my favourite of any brand, including the new Oasis, which are my second favourite. However, I've never used any other brand that breaks so many G strings!
