The Dynacore bass strings in this XT set use a revolutionary multi-filament nylon core processing technique to deliver unparalleled intonation, responsive attack, and crystal-clear projection—and with addition of our proprietary XT coating, a significantly extended lifespan. Coupled with our Carbon trebles, which are the brightest, best projecting trebles we have to offer, XT Dynacore is the most advanced classical string available. This Normal Tension set is our best-selling tension, preferred for its balance of rich tone, comfortable feel, and dynamic projection.

I love coated strings. I used to drive me crazy how fast the bass strings would turn on my classical. These will still turn, but they last several months instead of several days - huge win IMO!. My guitar also had some intonation issues, and the thinner treble strings really help with that. My classical still doesn't have as perfect of intonation as my electrics, but these string make it "good enough" to not be an issue.

These will make your 1k guitar sound like a 2.5k guitar. Loud, vibrant. They also hold tension, and stay in tune for extended periods, and they last twice as long as conventional strings.

I used these to balance out a super mellow cordoba C4 and it worked like a charm. It sounds like a whole new guitar. It’s still mellow but now it’s more powerful and resonates.These have 10 lbs more tension than the strings I normally use but I didn’t really notice a big difference, still lighter than the light strings on my electric.I’ve read these have a tendency to slip so the high strings got 3-4 loops at the bottom and I tucked the tails under the adjacent strings for good measure. We’ll see if it holds overnight but looks good so far.

As the headline suggests, I accidentally clipped one of them on the wrong side of the knot after tying off at the headstock. Had to buy a whole new set. I don't recommend doing this as these strings aren't cheap and you may throw your guitar in a fit of rage.After the second set arrived... They seem fine. I think I liked the Savarez 500AJ that came on my Cordoba Orchestra CE better. The trebles seem louder but the bass seems a little quieter and and all strings seem a bit harsher sounding. Not as warm on bass or treble strings. The tuning stabilized pretty quickly on the bass strings though. That's a plus. If they last as long as they claim... I could get used to them... I think.

I was reading about carbon strings and how good they sound. I tried some and couldn't believe the difference so I stocked up on them. I didn't know that D'Adario carbon stings are the brand Taylor puts on their nylon string guitars until I bought a 314ce-N. These strings may change the way you think about nylon strings.

Exactly as expected. Basses are a tad twangy for my taste but I'm sure they'll settle down a bit.Only the low E string had the lightly coiled end for tying your knot but I didn't have any trouble tying the A and D strings without it.

If you use the Standard J45ff Normal tension carbon, these are the extended life XTC Normal Tension set. They set easy and stay in tune quickly. Nice feel to them too. I use them on my de Jonge double top and have a nice bell like bright tone. Plenty of projection and sustain.I also purchased a normal tension set of XTC J46tt Titanium trebles for use on my de Jonge spruce top. They are also excellent strings. I noticed slightly more volume on my spruce top. The trebles are slightly thicker and seem to have more body and not as thin sounding as the as the J45FF carbons. I think they also have a faster feel IMO. Great projection without any noticeable loss of sustain.

How long until these start sounding good? Got some nylon strings out and was ready to throw these out when I saw these reviews. So far they are cold and annoying. Will try them again before cutting them off.

Sehr gute Saiten für diejenigen, die klaren, ein wenig metallischen Klang von Karbonsaiten mögen…

Works for E to E tuning on the Yamaha gl1 guitalele, as suggested from a few guys on youtube. Plays exactly like a guitar and has good sound. Strings are carbon, hard tension for the gl1.
