Great for Spanish-style Folk and Classical Guitars

La Bella's 830 Folksinger strings feature ball-end black nylon trebles and Golden Alloy-wound lower strings. The small ball attached to one end of each nylon string eliminates the need to tie the strings to your guitar's bridge. The nylon strings included in this set deliver excellent aural transparency and projection, while the Golden Alloy-wound strings produce consistent pitch and tone. Enjoy like-new string freshness every time you open a package, by virtue of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP). Grab a set of La Bella's 830 Folksinger guitar strings from Sweetwater. You'll be glad you did.

La Bella's string expertise reaches back centuries

While La Bella strings are the top choice for world-famous musicians such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter, their heritage reaches way back - almost four centuries back, starting in Salle, Italy, in the seventeenth century with the Mari family. They were famous throughout Europe and even supplied violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. Brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved their string operation to New York in the early twentieth century, and the modern-day foundation for La Bella strings was born.

Sound and look great

On my classical they sound and look great. Like them better than D'Addario's for this guitar. Easy to restring too.
Rated 5/5

Folk Singer strings

I've been trying a few different types of strings on my classical lately. I'm sticking with these. They feel great and sound bright and consistent from string to string. The ball ends are nice if you like, but I tie mine just like traditional strings. They also come with individually numbered so there's no confusion. Plus, they look cool with the black nylons.

Great Tone

Installed on a Giannini cutaway Classical from Brazil. Nice, mellow tone and resonance. Long sustain. Not as bright as Martin, Augustine or Daddario. Probably now my 3rd favorite brand. Stretched pretty quickly within a few hours. Would recommend if you want that full bellowing mellow sound for picking.
Music background: Studio. Church. Personal
Rated 5/5

Solid, long lasting, great sounding, durable

These strings are awesome. I'm a full time traveling musician and recently made the switch from steel string guitars to nylon string. I decided to try these after reading somewhere that Willie Nelson uses them. Being primarily a rhythm guitarist, I wanted something durable and these strings are exactly that. Played a 5 show run, each show being 4 hours, and didn't break one string. Highly recommend.

Incredible!

These are incredible if you are after Willie Nelson's Trigger tone. On my Fender classical, it just oozes Triggers tone and these strings can definitely take a beating. I highly recommend them to anybody. I have them on all of my acoustics and I have been well pleased
