Dear All, I am the Aquila owner. Sometime i have a bit of time to visit some musical forums. I would like to spend a few words in matter of the Alabstro trebles It is a pleasure to have a string-maker on the foro. Thank you, Mimmo (piacere di conoscerTi). Since we have such privilege, and we often indulge in the never-ending discussion and search for the perfect strings, can we press you for your expert opinion? Will you be so patient to contribute your knowledge and experience regarding strings in the context of flamenco guitars and flamenco music. I had tried your Alchemia and Alabastro in due course, but (with the open-ended disclaimer that this is a most subjective reaction and that I am not by any stretch of imagination a proficient guitarist but purely an amateur) I found that they lacked the lyrical tones D’Daddario and Luthier’s trebles afford. However, I also recognize that switching string is never as simple as it may seem at first. When I first transitioned from D’Addario to Luthier I also found the latter to leave a lot to be desired, yet I am now addicted to them –economical, perfect intonation, settled in tune rather swiftly and above all translate into the sound I like and seek to obtain from my guitars. Recently, I decided to try Savarez (Corum Basses –high tension- and Alliance Trebles -normal tension). I allowed a full week before determining that the trebles were unexcitingly dull and unevenly rough (nails kept scratching and splitting on picados and rasgueos) compared to the smoother, more lyrical and crisp Luthier and D’Addario, So what strings and tension would you generally recommend for Flamenco guitars, Blanca and Negra?
