Richard Jernigan -> RE: Luthier strings still going??? (Jun. 8 2021 21:48:43)

I had never tried Luthiers before, so I tried a set of Luthier Concert Silver Set 30, which I bought from Strings by Mail. On the package it says, "Luthier strings es una marca de Tico Musica SA" I put them on the Ramirez '67 1a blanca, but didn't llke them. The basses didn't come near holding their pitch, even after two weeks. The trebles had a clear sound, "cooler" than the sets of Savarez red cards that had been on the guitar for decades. They were true to pitch at the 12th fret harmonic, stretchy, but not as bad as the basses. The D-string was particularly poor at holding its pitch. When I took the strings off without any significant playng, I noticed it had begun to separate. Most of the area between the bridge saddle and the tie block was without its wire windings. The scale of the Ramirez is 655 mm so the strings weren't over tensioned. Nope. Not for that set anyhow. May have been a bad set, since others have liked the brand and model. RNJ
