Milonga -> RE: Hard/Extra hard tension (Mar. 21 2008 23:30:45)
|
Hi guys, Sorry to butt in on this discussion but this topic has troubled me for a while. Ive just bought a load of different strings of different tensions to try out and have currently a set of Hannabach Flamenco hard tensions on my Raimundo 125, they have replaced the standard tension D'addario strings. Bearing in mind I'd still class myself as a Flamenco "begginer" I've found that my playing has taken a bit of a hit having switched to the hard tensions. I find its taking my hands a lot longer to warm up to make accurate movements and although after a long time playing my Arpeggios and Picado does come up to a similar standard my Rasgueado has deffinately taken a dive. In short Im not sure I feel as confortable with the hard tensions as the standard D'addarios but Im worried about changing back as I don't know if I've given them long enough to make an impression on me - had them on for about 10 - 15 hours of playing, ~I'm also concerned that I dont know what I'm looking for even to the point of worrying about nail length/shape! If anyone wouldnt mind casting their advice I'd be very gratefull, also I wouldnt mind an idiots guide to what different tension suit and a general overview of how they sound/feel and perform. Thanks again Jamie.
