Hannabach "Buleria" Strings
|
|
|
So I just set my Navarro student blanca (pegs) up with some Hannabach Buleria strings in "high tension", and figured I'd do a quick review. The packaging is modest, and the strings come in two envelopes- one for basses, one for trebles. The strings are unmarked, so you need to look hard to tell which string is actually which. It's not too difficult but a label on each would be less tedious, especially at this price. Strung up, the first thing you'll notice are the intense basses. Extremely crisp, almost brittle, at least to my ear. Verging on steel-string like punch. This may or may not be a problem depending on your preferences, and your guitar. The second thing you'll notice is that the trebles are quite quiet- unless played very hard. P-I-M-A-M-I arpeggios, with a thumb on any bass string, leaves the trebles in the shadows with the booming A or D string dominating more than it should. My guitar is set up with 2.6mm action on the E and 2.0mm on the e. Overall, they don't do any better than the Felipe Conde Hard Tensions I had on previously, and cost 20% more. In Summary: PROS + Strong, clear basses + Plays well on low-action setups, allowing more precise "buzz" for a very flamenco sound on apuyando or alzapua. CONS - Strong, clear basses (As I said, may or may not be a selling point. For me, it's too much) - Unremarkable, dead trebles. Easily find better trebles in cheaper sets. - Price ($18) I give these a 6/10. Won't buy again.

On hannabach strings Apparently They will discontinue production of the 827 mt ( black trebles ) To many production faults ( the trebles fray ) and poor sales ..

A sponsered artist ... So assuming the info is correct Received a circular email encouraged to write to hannabach not to discontinue the product I don't use them so no personal issue When they didn't fall apart ( possible light/heat exposure? ) they were a nice sounding treble string
