Ramon Amira -> RE: New D'addario Flamenco strings (Jan. 22 2011 23:28:43)

Well, I will give it a few days, and keep listening, but I don't think my opinion is going to change. In my experience, the tonal qualities are the tonal qualities, and while there might be some improvement in the sound, it won't change the essence of the nature of any given string. I found these to have a very soft, too mellow sound, with little projection. Some classical guitarists might like them, though I doubt it, but for me they simply won't work for flamenco. Here is an excerpt from Strings By Mail description of D'addario composite strings: "D'Addario Composite wound strings exclusively feature Zyex(R) multi-filament stranded core material, which delivers GUT-LIKE TONE (my caps) with extremely long life and consistency." "Gut-like tone" is a good description of the sound of these strings, which I feel is not appropriate for flamenco. Ramon
