Padre -> RE: Aaron Greens guitar on packet of La bella strings (Dec. 14 2007 7:33:53)

Mari strings are, in my opinion, weak. I tried the flamenco and classical packs in different tensions, they were dull compared to La Bella which IMO are dull compared to Savarez 520R. I guess they might have application on a vintage flamenco guitar to play very traditional flamenco accompainement with a more dull rattle type sound (e.g. Diego del Gastor bulerias), but that is not where most players are today and La Bella 2001 flamenco strings may do a better job at that. BTW, I just made a move to the Conde flamenco strings for my Condes. I must say I was skeptical, figuring everything Conde does is overpriced and overstated, but WOW both the flamenco 730 normal tension and 735 high tension are nice strings - not overly lively like the 520R Savarez, clear, crisp, great tone not dull, all 6 strings seem to really sing. Paid $13.50/pack US, ouch! Larry
