Savarez T50R Strings set Flamenco standard Tension

Having used Savarez Carte Rouge for many years and more recently d'Addario, I decided to give these strings a try as they were a gift - normally I avoid strings carrying a player's name like the plague, their quality tends to be more hype than fact. What a pleasant surprise though. They were bright and responsive on my guitar (an older Jose Ramirez Flamenco but my very devoted best friend) - they seem to suit it well. They are bright and responsive with lots of expression - a real thrill to play. They took a week or so to settle down to one tuning once per day or two but they are wearing well. I will carry on my comparisons every so often but I will definitely have another go at Savarez strings and these in particular.

I use this strings for the past 6 years. Very happy.

Found these to be nothing special. The wound strings are OK but the plain strings sound dull to me. The g string, which is also plain-not wound- was also dull. All in all relatively expensive.

The strings sound ok but, they started discolouring within a week.. I had a d string just snap the other day, near but not on the nut, I wasn’t even playing at the time and they’re just not good value for money. Bear in mind I play Elixir strings on my Electric and steel acoustic and they are also expensive however they last and are good value as they don’t need replacing as often. It’s a shame elixir don’t make nylon strings , at least not to my knowledge anyway.

First time I use this strings and I have to say it was really nice. Perfect tension, good sound and good price. Definitely I will buy this product again

These strings bring out the best in your Flamenco guitar assuming you have a good guitar in the first place. That's the most important thing when trying to get an authentic sound.

I have always valued Savarez strings, so was looking forward to trying these Tomatito branded strings. I was extremely disappointed with them, within a fortnight the bass strings were lacking any vibrance and have become dull. The trebles have held up, but I will never buy these again. I am not overly impressed at having to buy a new set after 5 weeks......... (La Bella this time!!)

In my (and probably yours) quest for the perfect guitar strings, I decided to give this set a try. Of course everybody will have their preferences, no review of guitar strings can be entirely objective. I really loved the sound of the nylon strings - they are bright, colorful, very responsive. But that's where the compliments stop. The metal strings are more ordinary-sounding, though by no means bad. I have just replaced the Tomatitos with a set of Hannabach 827T and I much prefer the Hannabach metal strings sound. The Hanabach's nylon's strings, on the other hand, are not quite as bright and nuanced as the Tomatitos, but overall I much prefer the Hannabach as a set. For me it's a no-brainer. I should also mention that I had a really hard time tuning the E and B strings. Again, a glitch I did not experience with the Hannabachs. A problem of manufacturing tolerance? Anyway, I personally won't buy these again, but they are probably worth a try - as long as you don't get the same tuning problem as I did.
