Guitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ45FF Carbon Strings - Silver Plated Wrap, Composite Dynacore, Carbon Trebles - Normal Tension

Amazing strings! Compared to nylon, these are remarkably more bright and they sound so lovely and lifeful. I love the alive and clear sound of these strings, they have a lot of soul and they make my playing sound more premium and the tone has a slightly different 'colour' pallet which makes them perfect for me. No concerns from me, and I actually prefer them generally. 10+ years playing and comparing different string sets

I love these strings. They came fitted on my Taylor 12eN and in this way I grew to like them. I have been playing and changing strings since I was 7 and Im now in my 50s so think Ive got a good grasp of it by now, both nylon and metal, and wanted a cross over nylon string guitar which for me is the 12eN for mainly folk, finger style material and these strings are part of the package for that sound in my opinion. The carbon strings I feel give a very cross over sound and feel good if your used to playing metal strings. They still have a lovely smooth nylon response and tone, but if played right can sound in a different class all of their own. They lend my own songs a style which Im glad seems to be individual, not too classical sounding, yet not too harsh as some metal strings can be, an in-between. Ive just fitted a set to the Taylor, and this is the first change it has had since new. Reading a previous review, Im hoping that a string doesn't break soon, but will update if I find this. I have played on the previous set the guitar came with now for about 8 months till I thought they was sounding dull and needed replacing. I have at times a very hard finger playing style with my nails (no plectrum though, as some people do with nylons these days), and can say that Ive not had any problems at all with snapping etc, so fingers crossed. On fitting I found that the top 2 strings (top B&E), needed 3 loops to hold them at the bridge end, as when tension was turned up the knot would come out. Update. Been on over a week now with no issues at all. Keeping full tension, playing on them hard and sounding a dream. I think because of the high tension of these strings, and the thinness of say the top E string, it’s best to go careful with them when bringing them up to full tension for a while. I have been very cautious with this set, and brought up to standard tuning very very slowly to avoid snapping as mentioned by other reviews, but I’d still rather fit these than other strings.

Very clear, bright tone and excellent projection. The carbon trebles feel smooth and responsive, and the tension is comfortable for long practice sessions. Easy to tune and stay in tune well. Fantastic upgrade for classical guitar players – highly recommended

First string kept de-tuning when trying to tune up. When correctly tuned it snapped. After contacting D'addario they are sending me replacement sets. Also i have now got used to these strings and they are actually louder , brighter and have more projection than my old EJ46 sttrings.

Finally I found a long long lasting and good quality strings

I have not tried so called carbon strings before. The name suggests that they are made of carbon fibre but this is not the case, they are made of a fluorocarbon polymer. They have a clear sound and its easy to hear the separate voices when more than one note is played together. The strings have settled in quickly and do not need much retuning each time I play. I don't quite know why but the strings have a good feel and seem a bit easier to play than my previous strings although I can't see why that should be.

E,A,D strings tune up . G eventually settled down. Not a good sound. B string almost reached it's tune then sort of stretched and unable to get to B. The string snapped slashing my guitar. E string I wasn't brave enough to get the high e close to tune. Not Happy with the product.

Very goodnsttings. I buy them often
