As I can see from the responses, noone is using them... [8D]

I have never heard of or seen anyone with these, and I had never heard of them.

Can't hurt to try, but it is not a good sign! I think D'addario, Savarez, Luthier and Hannabach are the typical brands flamencos use. You may need to mix and match!

I have used them but on classicals, with the harder tension. Great string, as carbon goes, they are sweeter than Savarez Alliance, not quite as artificial.



gounaro -> RE: Knobloch Strings (Jul. 7 2011 12:44:27)

Stephen, from your experience, do you think that Knobloch or Savarez Alliance Normal Tension are better for flamenco?

I realize it's a year-old thread, but I want to encourage you to try these strings as I've been very happy with them (Knobloch Actives - carbon, high tension).
My teacher uses them so I gave them a try. These are bright strings, but have much less of that singy-pingy sound that annoyed me when I was using Savarez Corum/Alliance combo.
Basses have good separation and last longer than Savarez Corum basses. I'm a beginner and only play 20-30mins a day, but after 2 months the basses still sound good to me. Savarez and Hannabach sets I tried were dead after 2-3 weeks. D'addarios lasted long as well, but were not as bright and I didn't care for nylon G-string.
So if you want bright strings that sound more natural than savarez alliance, give these a try. Not cheap, but last a long time.

I might have to give these ones a go - I am also rather new but my strings are due to be changed soon.

Please write a review...

Out of curiosity I tried the Knobloch and the Jose Ramirez strings. My Montalvo guitar is a bit thin sounding, so i prefer strong basses and bright highs. The Knobloch strings had Kno-bass on my instrument and to my ears they sounded flat. I will try them on my Esteve guitar where the bass is sometimes too full but I will probably not try the Knobloch again.
The Ramirez strings were more of a winner on the Montalvo, but still not as good as my reference set as I seem to love the Hannabach sound. For the basses I use the 727HT (for some reason they call them "custom") and the Hannabach Carbon trebles. These give my guitar the best sound i've heard yet.
