JuanDaBomb -> Galli GR105 Genius Flamenco Strings (Apr. 4 2013 5:20:20)

Since I didn't find any info about these strings on the Foro, I thought I'd post about them, having just tried them out. Not really a review, more like a "hey, looky-here!". http://www.guitarcenter.com/Galli-Strings-GR105-GENIUS-FLAMENCO-Nylon-Coated-Silverplated-NormalTension-Classical-Acoustic-Guitar-Strings-H92046-i2845218.gc I put these on my Chris Berkov blanca. I used their normal tension set. Past string sets on my guitar include the D'addario EJ45, EJ45C's, their flamenco set, Savarez Alliance HT, Savarez Corum/Cristal, Savarez Cantiga/Cristal, La Bella 820. All normal tension. There are actually only 2 things I can definitively say about these strings: 1.) They are, as far as normal tension strings go, slightly on the thicker, higher tension side. Not a whole lot, but still noticeable. In terms of pulsation on my guitar, they are most similar to the La Bella 820's. 2.) The basses seem to last a bit longer than usual. They didn't begin to show much tone degradation for 2 weeks. That's about a week more than anything Savarez! So I'd have to say they are relatively long-lasting. As for tone, who can say really. Too subjective. The guitar remained bright, which is my only real requirement I suppose. And of course, it get's a bit louder. Overall, I'd say there's nothing offensive about the tone; if anything it just gets a teeny bit thicker. I'd say if you are looking for a slightly heavier string but aren't wanting to go high tension, then you should try these first.
