Anyone really like Hannabach Flamenco strings medium tension - 827 MT[sm=tongue.gif]

Edit: I changed the title, wasn't meant to be a discus on strings, I just want to give them away to someone who really likes them



duende -> RE: Let me know! (Mar. 9 2007 18:56:21)

never played any Hannabach



sianturi -> RE: Let me know! (Mar. 9 2007 22:39:17)

Hi Jim,

Hannabach Flamenco Medium Tension have a brighter sound than other strings, especially the basses. The trebles have a distinct sound. On my old guitar they sounded like a Japanese Koto. On my new guitar this is not so apparent. I compare that to the 'Koto' sound of my old Synthesizer (Korg M1). Quite interesting and worth a try.
Durability, settling in, price is on average level.
Tension is lower, compared to other medium tension strings.

So long,
Sianturi

My teacher uses them all the time on his 2000 James Frieson blanca.

The basses are ok but last very short. The trebles.... Nope. For flamenco trebles, I prefer La Bella 820B which I find to be a lot more punchy.



duende -> RE: Let me know! (Mar. 10 2007 7:46:55)

are that black trebles? on the la bellas. ive use some black labellas on my Alhambra
high tension.

There is a difference. When you say "high tension", I think of labella 2001, which are not so well balanced. The 820's that Anders refered to don't have tension designation, just different colors. Although things might have changed, but the ones I get don't say "medium tension" or something. The B stands for black trebs. To me the 820's have some nice overtones and things that the 2001's don't have, but it really depends on the guitar.

I used Hannabach before, as long as they lasted, they were very good. I prefer Luthier just bit more. Savarez Corum alliance are great too, but for me they last a day or two only. Again, it could depend on the guitar and the player.[;)]

I played Hannabach in past two times when my strings were out. I thought they were to hard for me. But cant remember clearely. They had black trebles.



Jim Opfer -> RE: Let me know! (Mar. 10 2007 10:40:41)

Thanks guys for your replies.
Thing is I was wanting to hear from someone who thinks there'great, I have 4 packs and I'd happily post them on to one of you guys who likes them a lot.

Jim.

The 820's are considered medium tension.



Anders Eliasson -> RE: First come first get! (Mar. 10 2007 15:58:01)

Are there any difference between sound and tension between La Bella 820 (red) and 820B (Black)

I know Stringsbymail call them med. tension both but are they the same?

Jim, If noone wants them you can send them to me. I´ll use the basses. But better give them away to someone who really wants them.

When I first read this post I was surprised that you liked them. I know you are a Sav. Alianza trebles man[;)]. If I could only chose between the Hannabach fl. trebles and the Sav. Alianza trebles I would go for the Hannabachs. I just cant stand the feel of Alianza trebles[:'(]



mrMagenta -> RE: First come first get! (Mar. 10 2007 16:30:47)

I've never tried hannabachs. I've been using alianza trebles and corum basses. now at the last stingchange i got the wrong sav. package. it had the corum basses but with horrible trebles.. thick as arms, and not clear like alianza. i think they're called savares PR. I'm really eager to take them off my guitar. I'd like to try a set of the hannabachs, but it would be awkward to ask for you to send a set to sweden. [8|]

might try the D'Addario J45's after hearing you guys speak well of them.

Zorro02 -> RE: First come first get! (Mar. 10 2007 16:43:16)

Hello Jim, Really like the strings, Honestly I do! Got them on my Cashimira.

Ok, but relative to what? Are there 820 "hard pack" or light or something else? Inside I saw the list for other related sets. 850, 850B, 850 Hard tension. But they are different sets. Where as the 2001 series says light, medium, hard, extra hard, etc. I guess my point is when you simply say "820B" you know what you got.

I would say they are "lighter" than the hard tension 2001's or Savarez Blue or whatever. But they feel so different than 2001 mediums. Tighter, brighter, more percussive. Does that make any sense??

The black trebs sound different than red or clear trebs to me. But it could be my imagination. I like black because they are so "jurassic park" flamenco[:D]

Ricardo

PS I will take free strings ANYDAY!!!!!!!!



Jim Opfer -> RE: First come first get! (Mar. 11 2007 0:28:44)

Hi Steve,

You were first up with a direct YES! so e-mail your address and I'll post them off. (4 Sets)

Cheers
Jim.

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm just going by what Stringsbymail.com says. I prefer the blacks to the reds.

Yes completely. Thay are stiffer but not with a higher tension. I find its by far the best picado string. Just feels right. Sounds like sh** on some guitars though.

My problem is that I can only get the red ones here in Granada and it makes the guitar look so.... Well ... softcore xxx.[:D]



Doitsujin -> Just changed the topic ... (Mar. 11 2007 9:47:46)

Isnt that confusing when looking for a running threat and the people changed the topics??[8|]



Anders Eliasson -> RE: First come first get! (Mar. 11 2007 16:13:51)

You´re right Doit, but a problem of this thread is that Jim, (the poster) changed the subject during the first couple of days.

Nothing more about LaBella strings from me.[;)]
