will check out the La Bella's, though on another forum some were saying they are cheap beginner's strings Maybe it's cheap, but price is very subjective. I'd say it's reasonable. I really don't like most of the 'new' innovations string makers did in the recent years, for example D'addarios' new 'flamenco' set, or Hannabach's 'buleria' to name a few.....at higher prices of course, not rarely 2x the price. In most cases these prices are based on snobs, that consider quality depends straight on the price. Also you can decide strings's consistency, and lifetime, but sound/playability are yet a very subjective thing based on the instrument, the player's technique etc etc. I'd say La Bella and D'addario are the far most consistent producer of our time. I don't say there aren't better sounding/more playable etc strings out there, but these factory's strings are really well made IMHO. On the other hand there are very cheap strings like savarez's flamencita, that was hard to keep in tune, and had to retune every 2-3 song I played, but somehow my previous blanca liked them so much soundwise, that I used several sets...all depends on what your goal is.
