eg.czerny -> Lower tension string recommendation (Jul. 12 2012 21:36:25)
|
I would like to try a lower tension string for one of my flamenco guitars to see if it would make it easier to play. It is a heavier guitar than my other two (which are extremely light). It has great sound, very sweet with a very long sustain. Definitely not a Siguiriyas guitar. I had the action lowered to match the other two (2.4mm) which helped quite a bit but for some reason it still plays a bit stiff and harder to fret, especially the trebles, so before I lower the action even more and run the risk of getting a buzz I thought I would try lower tension strings. I use regular tension Savarez Cantiga basses and Alliance KF trebles. La Bella 2001 Flamenco or D'Addario EJ45 don't sound as good on this guitar but work OK on the other two. Any recommendations? It's time for my annual Strings by Mail order. Thanks
