Review: Solid Nylon Strings for a Steel Guitar - I was looking for the more mute sound of nylon strings, but didn't feel like shelling out money for a classical guitar. I found these strings and have been using them for about 2-3 months now (time has lost meaning this year). I was skeptical that these would sound decent based on some of the reviews here, but I've been pleasantly surprised so far. I installed these in my Ovation Applause guitar, replacing the Elixer steel strings. While the Ovation bridge probably would have allowed me to get away with regular wrap nylon strings, I went the ball bearing route since I didn't know if the wrap around nylon strings would introduce too much foreign stress on the bridge. Installing the strings was easy, but I recommend leaving less excess string than you normally would while threading the tuners, or you'll end up with alot of string wound around the tuners like me (ignore the toddler finger smudges in the pics). Once strung, I adjusted the truss rod to relieve tension (made about 4-5 full left rotations) to try and minimize any potential fret buzz, and reduce the chance of string snapping. The strings took about a week to really settle and not drop flat a full note every 10 minutes, but once settled and tuned, they sounded fantastic. Since the neck is slimmer than a classical guitar, and nylon G,B,E strings are thicker than it's steel counterparts, I initially found my fingers a bit crammed, and rolled off the strings many a times. After a bit of practice to adjust, I found these strings have a great mellow sound that I've been chasing after, and perform really well for $15 strings. If you are looking for a nylon sound, but don't want to spend ~$150 for a cheap classical guitar, these strings are a solid choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are these strings ' high tension'?**
A: D'Addario says that these strings tension between 11.7 lbs and 16.5 lbs.  They elect not to grade the Folk series by tension category.  EJ32 offers a light feel, softer treble tones and basses with low attack.  If you play acoustic (no amp) you will find this set produces a gentle low volume.  If you play using amplification with on board pickup or microphone or a combination of the two, you will find these easier to control without the 'pop' and 'snap' and 'brittle' tones usually associated with amplified nylon strings.

**Q: Is this a full set of 6 strings?**
A: Yes, i received a full set of 6 strings with my order.

**Q: Are these a light gauge/low tension?**
A: I use them on an 1890s parlor guitar that requires low tension on the neck.  I like them a lot.  On that guitar, it’s all I use.  They have a softer sound.  So, to answer your question, I would say yes.

**Q: Will this set of strings fit on a full size acoustic guitar, perhaps a Yamaha acoustic?**
A: The strings have ball ends so they should fit on any standard steel string guitar. The reason I suggested them to my grandaughter is that they are nylon strings and would probably be easier on her fingers..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much better than my old strings
*by K***T on April 24, 2013*

I'm no expert on guitar strings. I had some really cheap ones on my mini "student" guitar, and they were pretty bad with the low note constantly being out of tune when you strummed it, even right after careful tuning. My guitar sounds SO MUCH BETTER after putting on these strings, and inspired me to practice more. The bottom metal strings are such a pretty luxurious gold color also. The top ones are clear plastic. All strings have balls at the end so it made for easier installation. They come in a package with a little code on it where you can check online on the D'Adderio's website to check its authenticity. Me not being picky, did not do that. So far as staying in tune, they all didn't stay in tune very well at first between sessions. This is true for all strings before they stretch out though. After time though, they seem to be staying in tune pretty well even between sessions. And I want to mention that they DID stay in tune, even when they were brand new, through a short session of playing. Which is more than I can say for my old strings. So far as the sound, they sound really nice to me. Again I'm no expert but I'd say it brings a warm mellow folky sound. When you strum these strings with your finger pads, they sound so soothing and nice, despite not being able to play that well :). There is a deep rich woody sound that comes out with these strings, which makes my cheap guitar sound rich and full of soul. Anyway, overall these strings are totally awesome, and were a nice upgrade for me.
