Very nice strings
very nice tone. Almost like a dry percussive feel. Holding up well after several weeks of use. Tension works well on 3/4 scale guitar.

Beautiful sound
I love these strings. I put them on a Spanish guitar and the sound is rich and full. Recommended!

Torn
Hard to review a product given this combination of factors - on the one hand, as strings, I think they sound beautiful. Lively, bright, and vivacious, but somehow ancient, too. Easier to play than the D'addarios I tried before this. On the other, the high E string split and broke during the initial setup with it. It split near the bridge, so I was able to cut it right at the split, flip it around, and was able to still string it up. It hasn't broken yet, but that's really not what you want to happen with a brand new string. It snapped when it was around the B pitch of the 2nd string, so still 2 1/2 steps away from its final tension when it split.

no better option available
Literally the only strings I will ever put on my "Luthier Series" Cordoba classical guitar. I am very happy with them.

Excellent sounding strings but without long life span!
These are, in my opinion, the best sounding classical guitar strings, at least among many others I have tried. They don't last long, but last enough to be worth buying. I keep buying them.

don’t waist your time or money.
Couldn’t even play them the D went at the first tighten session. if it can’t make it past that phase of the string break-in process then why sell them? It’s no good……

Note the ‘LIGHT TENSION’
i was thrilled to get my strings only to realize they were beginner tension/strength. The product name on amazon is not appreciably indicative of which tension you are getting. very nice feel, almost as tacky as rubber

Brilliant purchase
I absolutely love these strings and I'm so glad I've found them. As I approach 70 my hands are beginning to stiffen and I've taken to playing a 7/8th instrument which is less demanding on the hands. But finding strings which give an optimum and professional sound on this instrument has been a challenge. These strings simulate the sound of playing on gut and they produce a lovely, subtle yet bright tone with good projection. Whilst I am used to playing with standard length guitar nails I've found that to make the best of these strings, it's better to cut them right down to use more of the flesh than is usual. And I imagine that players who choose to play without nails would love these strings too.

Sehr guter Saitensatz - extrem simmstabil, sehr hell und langlebig
Ich habe zwei Alabastro Light Tension Sätze auf zwei verschiedenen Gitarren ausprobiert. Die Saiten gefallen mir sehr gut, insbesondere die Diskantsaiten. Heller als standard Nylon aber nicht so hell wie Carbonsaiten. In meinen Augen ein sehr guter Kompromiss, vereint die Vorteile beider Saiten technologien. Die Saitenspanning ist relativ gering, was Ermüdungserscheinungen in der linken Hand vorbeugt. Ich würde sagen in der Mitte zwischen D'Addario EJ43 und EJ45. Die Saiten halten die Stimmung extrem gut, nach dem sie sich stabilisert haben. Während des Spielens steigt die Tonhöhe nur minimal bis gar nicht. Das permanente Nachstimmen in der ersten Viertelstunde entfällt. Sogar von einem Tag zum anderen braucht man nur wenig oder gar nicht nachstimmen. Das habe ich so noch nicht erlebt. Wenn man die Saiten aufzieht dehnen sich die Saiten sehr. Man muss sehr viel auf die Mechanik wickeln. Das ist an sich kein Problem, man muss nur sicherstellen das genug Platz auf der Rolle ist. Die Lebensdauer der Saiten würde ich als hoch angeben. Ich habe die Saiten deutlich länger gespielt als andere Sätze.

Passar kanske inte alla gitarrer, men...
Dessa strängar är de bästa jag provat på min Orfea 10-strängade gitarr. Det är de tre diskantsträngarna som gör skillnad. På mina andra gitarrer är D'Addario ett bättre val.

Agréable.
J'utilise ces cordes sur ma guitare romantique. Solide, agréable au touché et économique

calidad
la afinación en mi guitarra (una guitarra sencilla de estuido entorno 300 euros) es perfecta. en todos y cada uno de los trastes. esto es afinando a 432 hz. lo ideal para tocar música barroca y renacentista. e ideal para tocar sin uñas. estoy muy contento con el sonido, cálido pero vigoroso. el vibrato mejor que en cualquier cuerda de nylon. la facilidad del pisado de traste es asombrosa y siendo tension baja no pierden potencia de sonido. estoy francamente contento con esta compra. no puedo todavia hablar de la durabilidad, pero me dan muy buena impresión. si algo se desestabilizara con el tiempo, lo comentaré.
