I only got ball-end nylon strings once, and the ball ends on the bass strings were made of metal; so they didn't go anywhere near my guitar. No way.

Best,

One big difference in this set and the Martins were that these tied on the bridge and the Martins had a small ball of plastic to hold them in place. Does this make a difference in the sound of the guitar?]]> Guitar Players Discussion RayJayTray https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/any-classical-players-out-there/#post-177319 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/any-classical-players-out-there/#post-177298 Tue, 16 May 2006 23:11:52 +0000
When I change mine I tune to pitch and pull the strings upward from the fretboard a little bit - about an inch or so at the 12th fret, then less at the 5th or 7th fret, and the same up around the soundhole. Prestretching some guys call it, but the trebles always take longer to stretch out and keep pitch. Sometimes I'll tune them up a half step higher than normal and leave them like that a day or two.

Hope this helps.]]> Guitar Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/any-classical-players-out-there/#post-177298 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/any-classical-players-out-there/#post-17726 Tue, 16 May 2006 22:22:38 +0000
I've been playing guitar awhile so I can tune and change the strings easily, but it seems like when I do the 1,2, and 3 strings constantly out of tune. (they take a significant time to break in it seems.)

Whenever I was putting the new strings on I started with the low strings and got all three of them on (the metal ones) while leaving the old nylons on the guitar...tuned it up, and it sounded great. Do any classical players just change out the metal strings (EAD) and leave the bottom nylons on (GBE), because it seems like the nylons have a longer life.

Anyone have any special methods or tips when re stringing a classical to make it sound great? It seems like new strings I put on this guitar give it too bright a sound and it sounds funny for awhile.]]> Guitar Players Discussion RayJayTray https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/any-classical-players-out-there/#post-17726
