'Flamenco de Carlos Saura'

I took it down of the shelf recently, thought I'd have a go at Zata and Ron's twos for buleria, see if it made any sense to me (It'll take a bit of time but I'll give it a go)

Anyway, I know the video pretty well so I found myself looking at the detail.

Jeez! that opening buleria with La Paquera de Jerez, what a voice, makes the tiny hairs on your ar*s lift you up off your seat.

So I noticed Morito playing with what look like black treble strings on his guitar and thought, these can't be La Bella's (worst string on the planet IMO) so who makes good black strings, anyone know?

Cheers
Jim.

I think the La Bella blacks are okay. Sound just D Addarios.

I bought a set of La Bella blacks and put them on my Ricardo Sanchis this weekend. To me, they sound ok, but much more importantly they look really cool set against my dayglo orange soundboard. [sm=Smiley Guitar.gif]

Hmmm... yes, that naranja finish takes some getting used to, doesn't it? When I got my Sanchis, it was strung with a set of blacks. Sounded OK ish, but theres something weird and distracting about black strings, IMO (plus, black strings against a black ebony fretboard in a darkish room? ..err I don't think so).

Only thing more weird than black strings is those yukky red things by Hannbach. yeuch[:'(]

Downing -> RE: Who makes good black trebles? (Jul. 8 2004 21:10:30)

I haven't tried the Hannbachs, but I did try a set of the La Bella reds, or maybe I should say "reddish."

Yuck. They sounded ok but I couldn't get used to the transluscentness... um, I'm not sure that's the right spelling or even the right word or even if it is a word, come to think of it.

I'll try again.

I couldn't get used to the see-through pinkness of them.

[8|]

I hope pinkness is a word.

Ok, I'm leaving now. [X(]

When I got my PdL guitar recently, the supplier put a set of red and a set of black La Bellas in the case. Haven't tried either of them yet. Don't know what the guitar was supplied with, but they seem excellent quality and just the right gauge for the instrument. Must find out somehow. I'll let you know what I think of the coloured strings at a future date.

Rob,

There are strings called 'Lisa' Made in America for 'Lisa de Granada' and they are claimed to be the most popular string in Spain? I've used them before and they're fine.
Might be these are the strings on your PdL.
PS, How was Paris and the Tab kink AF?

Cheers
Jim.
