I use stringsbymail.com, and have never found a reason to shop elsewhere ...

Ditto, I discovered them recently and they sell single strings for any brand, as far as I know. I order bass sets only because I have so many unused trebles.
I was just checking that site. Lots of cool stuff at a good price but if you only want classical/flamenco strings, then there's really not much to choose from. Lots of Hannabach though.
You'll have to wait for that Aranjuez review hehe
At least the packaging is awesome. By the "cover" I thought they were "rusticly" packaged, they're not.
The La Bella's sound really good but the intonation on my high E is a bit sharp.. hope it stabilizes and corrects itself.

Well, to be honest the "a bit sharp" is actually "too sharp" lol
Anyways, I never felt so much difference and never liked a set of strings so much, specially when new. Ive played mostly d'addarios with other brands on mixed on the trebles, didnt like Savarez although they felt different from d'addarios.. but these 820's are just like I have a different guitar on my hands now. Love the raspy sound and the feeling of the strings. Too bad that this high E string seems to be crap lol

Some other guys here have problem with the B string. Bad intonation.
No more La Bella's for me. I prefer Luthier's and Daddario's Composites basses.
We recognize that we had some issues with our black and red nylon in our 2001 Series and 820B & 820 Series.
We've officially rolled out our new & improved trebles. Keep an eye out for sets that have a yellow sticker on them saying "NEW IMPROVED TREBLES" [see set image below].
If you had ANY issues with the nylon, please email info@labella.com to receive a free replacement.
We appreciate your business and apologize for any issues. We'd like to make things right and are eager to roll out the new trebles to everyone who had a problem with them.
Best, La Bella Strings
