ORIGINAL: buleria74 La bella strings normally don't fit primera instruments, if you have a fabric made guitar thats fine then you can use Labella! Luthier strings: set 20 is too thin, set 30 and 35 sound good but only couple days, then they are pretty much dead. Conde hermanos has fabrication faults in their 5th strings and are too expensive, they tried to trick guitarists as they did with their guitars with less success this time ! Savarez are pretty ok, just have to find the set matching your instrument. Try the new sets like HT new christals normal tension. D'Addario Pro-Arté: excellent sound, extreemly durable, nicely priced, they dont cost a lot and are high quality strings. La Bella can really be the best on some primera instruments. It depends on the guitar, and the sound you are after. If the set up is too soft, then the labellas don't work as well. I have had good experience with Luthier and Conde Hermanos strings, and felt they were similar. As if Conde Hermanos strings were a choice mix set of luthiers. In fact Conde used to string their instruments with luthiers, and the luthier shop in NYC usa was the first exclusive dealer of new conde's in USA. So I just feel going for Conde "strings" is redundant when I can get luthier's easier or cheaper. Daddario are good strings, reliable and in tune and easy to find. Saddly, they don't sound very flamenco, they are kind of flat and colorless. For me they "do the job", but are better for classical music. I will use them in emergency when I have run out of my favorite strings. Labellas have more of the flamenco character I am after...even on non factory primera guitars.[;)] In general I say experiment with different strings until you find what ever brings the most from YOUR guitar, because your guitar is not the same as mine.
