1991 Hermanos Conde Media Luna 645 S...

I just bought this 1991 Hermanos Conde Media Luna Braz/German, which is (badly) in need of a string change. Any suggestions? A good tension for this scale?

Thanks
Jim

For lower scale length you can try a medium high tension, of course if the neck is good to go. I recommend Knobloch erithacus theyre very affordable around 15$ and last way longer than ddario,

I dont’ believe it is lower than 650. Can you show us with a ruler?

Reminds me of these two short scale 632mm Sobrinos Esteso made for Paco de Lucia and Manolo Sanlucar.

Might not be senorita hands, there a lot of good players just under 1.5m,

Its funny the fact that a lot of very short players with very small hands use a 650mm, it looks like a 690mm guitar on an average 1.7-8m guy,

you should be grateful you're average height or maybe taller, God forbid youre not small
