La Bella 427

Wow!
Finally. This set's gonna be my new absolute favourite!
I've really tried almost everything, and found some gems so far, but so far, maybe the best strings overall.
The basses are deep, crisp, but not harsh. The trebles sound full, and bell-like, yet not too mellow. They have similar feel like rectified nylons, which I like a lot. They intone perfectly and settled down relatively fast.
It has volume and projection, and the tension is just right on my Castillo blanca.
At this price it's really hard to beat IMHO.

I am a convert to the 427 trebles and 820 basses (which may be the same as 427 basses--they have the same tension numbers). Good strings at a great price--especially from SBM.

How do they compare to the 820's?
What tension are they?

per la bella the 427, 820 and 2001 medium classical strings have the exact same tension. it would not surprise me if the 820 trebles are colored 427 trebles.
