FWIW, I presently have one other full sized classical, and have had a few others in the past, so I'm not new to classical guitars, nylon strings, etc. And the G string, rather thick, may produce a slight intonation issue at the 12th fret with saddles not compensated. They also had ballends which is a convenient advantage when restringing a Kanile'a with a pin bridge.

I'm still trying to get my head around the difference between tension and hardness for classical strings, but based on yours and other comments, I get the impression that harder classical strings have a more linear dynamic than lighter classical strings, such that when e. So if your guitalele has bridge pins, you’ll need to use a work around to install loop or tie end strings.This set allows the expansion of the frequency range of the Guitalele simply by changing the strings: this high E tuning, that is one octave higher than the normal tuning of a classical guitar, will allow for sounds comparable to a violin in a symphony orchestra. THE GUILELE/GUITALELE RED SERIES sets provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love clear, sharp sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.

Of course, there is the option cut them off, but it’s an added task to do if you don’t actually need to! Of course, you could use a higher tension one, which would be wider, and thus it may need widening there too. Constructed to fit your guitar-ukelele hybrid tuned A to A, these strings will fit most models that are equivalent to a 1/4 size guitar. There may be a "catch" that I'm missing, but based on what little I know, I can't figure out where its logic is faulty. I am not 100% happy with the sound of some tones in higher positions, but it's still an improvement.Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. Gauge makes a difference in playing but is largely personal preference unless the size is too large (e.

That was still a bit lose to play in standard tuning (important for practicing anything with voice while traveling) so I changed the saddle which raised the action. The sustain, especially on high single-note melodies, is just wonderful, something this guitalele completely lacked before, and now has plenty of. In an effort to save someone else some money I have made a list below with the strings I tried and a rating out of ten for tone and tension on a guitalele tuned upto AECGDA. It is necessary for guitalele players must understand the basics of guitalele strings and know how to choose the right strings for their instrument.I now have this low and lush sound with a serious tension, and the strings set in tune in less than 4 hours. The Rotosound CL3 are a Spanish guitar/Flamenco/Classical Guitar set with a slightly thicker string gauge and higher tension. The Savarez Prodige 38 (540 CXS) prove to be the ultimate strings to tune a guitarlele in standard tuning.

There are many strings on the market, but some brands are known for their quality and are worth the investment. Aquila makes some loop end strings designed for E tuning on the guitalele if you want to check those out. With amazing results, Aquila’s Red Series strings now achieve a brighter, more powerful sound whilst being much more responsive across the entire range of the fretboard. I had no problems at all afterwards (side note: this is Yamaha Guitalele with a very smooth saddle). These D'addario strings appealed to me when I opened the packet because they felt like a more substantial version of the 'GHS' strings my ukulele arrived with.So, preferring lighter strings in general on my guitars, both steel and nylon, I decided to pick up a set of Pro Arte light tension strings (EJ43) which I have used on occasion before on my classical, though now use normal tension. They simply don't sound good unless you are delicately picking a Romantic or Classical piece on them. Musicians around the globe use Alice strings and accessories that are often mentioned in major publications. Aquila strings are a great option for this (in fact they could be classed as a ukulele string, but will work with a guitalele nonetheless). Aquila's revolutionary new approach —never introduced before us— changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauges almost unchanged as possible is.
