Ernie BallErnesto Palla Black and Gold Ball-End Nylon Classical Guitar Strings

Recently purched a Grestch Jim Dando parlour guitar, but couldn’t find a set of strings that played well. Before dropping my new guitar in the guitar recycling bin, I bought these nylon strings, now all is happily tuneful. A joy to play, innit!

good strings

Ball flew off top E on first playing. Bugger to retire. Strings sound fabulous.

I’ve been playing an electric guitar on and off for the best part of 17 years. For a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to move towards away from electric guitars and towards acoustic guitars, with my current axe being a fairly basic 4/4 classical guitar.These strings arrived exactly as pictured within the product listing and were relatively easy to fit. I made a mistake the first time trying to fit these strings, resulting in a ruined string, but generally the process is very similar to stringing an electric guitar as a result of the balls on the end of each string.The strings seem to hold their tuning well once broken in, but it did take a few days of playing to get to the point where I didn’t need to significantly retune before playing.The sound produced by these strings is fairly bright and warm, while also remaining somewhat clear. It’s hard to really describe but I’m pleased with the results.Overall I’m happy with these strings. So far they’ve held up for about two months, and they don’t seem to be going dull just yet.

Great quality and value,sound great.

I assumed the black strings would be the bass strings- no, the bass strings are silver, the top strings are black. They sound amazing, but they are a bit expensive. If the inner goth in you can justify it, then go ahead... I think they're great.

bought these a couple of times, every set purchased the D string has unwound after a few month intermittent use, going to try some other brand going forwards

They were easy to install, didn't snap like set I had from other company. No problem with tuning.
