I have a Breedlove nylon string acoustic. Not a classical but a hybrid. It was a little thin on the lows and a bit too bright in the treble. These strings do exactly what they say. Elevated, commanding lows and smooth mellow highs. Much better projection and string balance. I like the added string tension. Great strings!

I've used the D'Addario Composites on and off since they debuted in the early 1990s. There are more strings choices on the market than back in the day but I always come back to the Composites. The tone is a traditional mellow timbre, similar to Dynacore and the standard EJ44, but with a brighter sounding G. The problem with nylon 3rd strings is they tend to be too mellow—even dull and tubby—and this tan colored monofilament has more bite. So better for lyric solos up and down the 3rd (G) string and a smoother transition between bass and treble timbre. A nice thing about the monofilament 3rd string is it almost lasts forever. The other trebles will be scratched and worn, losing tone and sustain after a couple weeks of hard playing but I can leave the 3rd string on through many changes of basses and trebles. Be careful when winding up to pitch as both the bass and monofilament 3rd string require about 75% fewer turns to hit pitch than standard nylons. If you simply turn the tuning key the amount of turns standard strings need, you'll be an octave high and break a string. Finally, the both the bass and monofilament 3rd string stretch out quickly, holding their pitch much sooner than regular nylon strings. The two upper trebles are just standard nylon so they stretch forever.

Just changed my dad's fine Classical strings which were muddy and lifeless after only a month... These have totally transformed the sound of this very expensive instrument... Excellent purchase...

These are decent strings with good projection. The composite G is quite good. Tuning stability overall is subpar though, as I have to retune after every song, so I think I will switch to a different set.

I put these on a $81 Harley Benton classical acoustic. These pro arte strings are far superior to the stock strings. I really dig the composite G string. I play self taught fingers style guitar with no nails, I can still make these sing loudly and sweetly. It did take too long for them to stretch, sounds amazing.

I’m using these on a crossover guitar as I’m mostly a fingerstyle steel string player. I previously tried medium and hard tension conventional nylon strings. I much prefer these extra hard composite strings. I especially like the composite G string—it really helps the transition from wound to unwound strings. The tone and intonation are improved. I don’t find extra hard tension more difficult to play, but I’m used to 012 steel strings. The extra tension may allow me to lower the action a bit without buzzing. Or I might leave the action where it is and tune down a whole step—which could be nice for playing solo.

Popped a string, opened the new pack of strings, and I see a short coiled piece of cooper???? Also, a duplicate high E string. Grabbed a second package, the D string snapped before it reached proper tuning. Reconsidering buying somewhere else. Knock off? These are typically solid strings.

Good strings, Basses are bright, trebles produce a more round tone, very good balance, have seen these strings being played for more than 8 months without much loss in the sound quality. Remember the "Hard" word though :-) Update on 17 Jul 2016: I bought these again. They are great for practice, lasts very long and retains the good sound almost till the end. Update 4 Aug 2021: bought a few set over the last 5 years. Still using this. Recently bought from seller ' Acoustic World' in a very reasonable pricing. Authentic product as checked from D'addario play real website. This strings sound better than the stock Savarez on my Cordoba C5 imho, I know it will last much much longer and you won't need to tune the guitar everytime you sit to practice. EJ46 retains the tuning longer. Overall my favourite strings for practice. I love the sound. Anything below this will probably let you and your guitar down.

I purchased these strings for preparation for my guitar exam and i am verry happy. They produce a vibrant and crisp sound with great projection. they sound great for the price i love them. However, they lose their longevity suffers as after 2-3 months of daily usage they start getting a chipped edge where they are layed on the frets. But for the price they are great compered to other brands which most of the time cost more and have a less projective sound. overall great product would recommend.
