I recall Anders saying he disiked the Savarez carbon trebles but preferred the Hannabach Goldin trebles (also ToddK uses them). I personally like the sound of the Goldin trebles (especially the volume and projection) but have failed to "adjust" to them completely. I have been playing them for a month or so now but I still find them more difficult to control (especially when playing tremolo passages) than the Luthier 30 trebles I used to play. Also, they sometimes sound "a bit over-the-top" to me. What do you think of "non-nylon" trebles for flamenco?

I switched back to D'addario J45's actually.

The Goldins are excellent, they were just getting too expensive.

I was using Saverez Alliance for classical, and now am using D'addario J46's
for the same reason.

The Saverez are great, but they are really inconsistant. They dont always
tune up. (the trebles)

Its not entirely a "saving money" thing really, i actually do like the
D'addarios just fine. They do the job.

Paco,
Its a long time ago... I havent played carbon for years. Just like you, I dont adjust to them. I like the sound though. But picado is horrible on carbon trebles.

I wouldnt say no to Goldins because of the price. Yes, they are expensive, but they last forever. In general, you dont have to change treble strings. If you play more than 2 hours a day, change them once a year.
I actually have a feel that some trebles like the La Bella 820B gets better with time.

Anders, do you mean the sound is horrible, or the feeling (for the right hand) is horrible?

I have not yet tried carbon strings. Are they smooth and shiny like nylon, or are they the ones with the matte (slightly rough) surface?
