Classical 7 string strings

Metal Ken · 03-01-2008, 01:23 PM

So as you all know, i got my Giannini. Plays great. Well, i need to pull the bridge off to file it down a bit for lowering the action, so i figured i might as well put some new strings on it. The high e string is very tight compared to everything else. I was thinking of going with light guage, but i cant find any tension calculations for nylon strings. Also, what should i go with on my low B? Im not sure whats on there, but it sounds pretty decent.

The best I have for you (and you've probably already seen it) is Hannabach strings at Juststrings.com. They have a medium tension set that you might wanna' check out.

Let me know what you come up with for this. I'm very curious as I sort of *cough* ordered something for myself...

Ok I've been looking around a bit and D'Addario has single strings that should work well... their Silverplated Wound classical strings go up to 56

and they have a tension chart that includes the classical strings here:
