Hola, Sendero My La Bellas are about 2 weeks old, and they seem to be holding up pretty good. I've recently started keeping my nails shorter, and I'm using the smaller joint on my finger for my picado. Plus I've been averaging about 3 hours a day for about the last month. In short, I'm not sure what aspect has had the most benefit in my playing, but something's working as of late. I'm always open to recommendations. I have a set of D'Adario EJ46 (Hard Tension) ready to go. I meant to buy the EJ45 recommended above, and when I purchased them they were in the 'EJ45' slot. I bought them the same day I bought my LaBellas, so I've had them for about 2-3 weeks. It wasn't untill just a couple of days ago that I actually looked at the set and realized they weren't the EJ45. I thought about taking them back, but I think I'll go ahead and give them a try. I have tried Savarez (520 & 540), but have not tried the Corums yet. I would have to order those via mail, which I hate to do. Anyhoo, I know the music store I get my strings at carries some Hannabach, but I'm not sure which models. I have never heard of Lisa strings. Where can I find some info about them? Is your Diaz a blanca? I don't really have a world class guitar, it's a Yamaha CG171SF flamenco. I got it 2nd hand for about $250 USD. It has a pretty good scratch right under the bridge plate which is the reason for the price reduction I presume. I'm feeling the bug to upgrade my guitar tho, and I'm liking what Anders has to offer in terms of quality for the price. The yamaha has been the majority of my experience with flamencos. I have had othe classicals - Takamine EC132c, Hirade TH90. I do like the sound of those classicals, and it makes me think I may lean towards a Negra. I contemplated converting one of them, but couldn't decide which one, so I scrapped the idea. ciao
