Hannabachclassical guitar strings Flamenco Series 827 High Tension set Made in Germany - 827HT

I have used these many years ago but could not remember how they performed. The top three strings are red coloured. So if you don't like that, this will put off. For me, it was not an issue and in fact it can help distinguish strings better when looking at what you are playing.So I went to put them on the guitar and all was going fine until I got to the D string. Even being as economic as possible at the bridge tie off, it was perilously short so that there was barely enough to tie it to the headstock winder. In fact it slipped at first and I had to abandon attempting a standard loose tie off and just looped it back on itself under the roller entry hole and kept my fingers crossed! Compared to the D'Addario Ej45s, these are too short and need an extra 10cm. This is particularly important for those with poor manual dexterity who may need more length to do the tie-offs. Hannabach - take note.In terms of sound, and compared to D'Addario Ej45s, the sound is thinner and slightly crisper (more trebly) with perhaps more middle tones as well. There is a little less bass. The quality of the bass E string is smoother in texture than the EJ45s so that's a plus when doing Granadinas bass slides. The top string feels thinner as well. I am not particularly wowed by these strings in terms of sound. The difference is noticeable but not amazing nor a "must have" sound and were notably more expensive than competitors. Wear-wise, it is too early to say how long they will last. But the EJ45s lasted just over two months with 1 hour daily play. I am not expecting any longer than this and will update once I know.Update: these were put on on 26/6/19. By 10/7/19, the D string had worn through at the fourth fret such I could not play any further (or risk snagging my fingers) and need to change the strings. That was after daily play for up to an hour. So that's another star gone. The sad thing is, the trebles were really responsive and bright. Very disappointing.

Excellent strings

Intense, my brain expanded when I began wriggling my toes like Nikola Tesla said, I did get smarter. These strings are very good.

The string began to fray as soon as I put it on the guitar, and within 2 days had split down the middle and was unplayable. No reply from the sellers. The other strings are just great, I was just unlucky, but their customer service is non existent, so bear that win mind!
