quote:
what are the best strings to use for flamenco? like i said, it's not just the strings, but also the guitar, so the same strings sound and feel different on different guitars. Someone asked Gerardo Nunez what strings to use and he said something like "don't use flamenco strings, they're crap, use classical strings" but my memory is a) crap and b) imaginative, so don't trust anything i say.... like MarkMc says, lots of people use D'Addario Pro Arte, but others use Labella, Luthier and Savarez. I have mostly used D'Addario Pro Arte or Savarez, but have found La Bella strings pretty bad on my guitar, but then i didn't take Gerardo's advice, and tried La Bella flamenco strings, so for all i know their classical strings might be ok. You really are gonna have to try several brands in several tensions and see which you like best in sound and feel. And that website MarkMc recommends does have some sound advice (sorry, bad pun) on choosing strings here http://www.stringsbymail.com/sbmstringbasics.asp
