| Hi; I'm new to this board and I don't know if this is monitored by someone from the company. However, here is one thaught:
I'm playing classical guitar and my fav strings are ProArte with normal tension. I change my strings something like every 4 - 5 weeks, depending on how much I played. But I most often dont' change first three strings (e,h & g); those can be good for months, for difference of last three (d,a & e) that got dirty and sounding bad after few weeks playing. I just would like to suggest that u could package bas strings separate, or 2 bas sets with one discant set, or something in that style.
As it's case now I must buy new packet with all 6 strings even if in most cases I wan't use first 3 strings. I have a lot of discant strings over & I can't even use them for fishing (too short  ). They finnish in most cases in garbage. Packaging with like double bas strings could save more environment (u don't spend plastic for three unused string + paper for 1 envelop) & price could be cheaper then buying 2 packages, when one really needs 1½ which in turn could make customers more happy ...

| I also play classical guitar. I was advised by the luthier that built my new guitar to replace the bass strings twice as frequently as I replace the trebles. I went to strings by mail on the web. They sell proartes in sets of six and sell the bass strings as an additional set. As a side note (and I don't work for d'adderio), the luthier (Eric Sahlin) told me that he builds his guitars for d'adderio strings because they are the only company that guarrentees the intonation of their strings. |

| Thnks for nice answer; can u tell me where do u buy extra bas sets? I would really like to know for the place. I have been buying my strings in a music shop, but they sell only ordinary 6 string packs.
Btw: are u from Sweden? Erik Sahlin sounds very swedish to me; what place is he from?. |

| Go to http://www.stringsbymail.com/. They sell both bass sets and six string sets. I have used them and they are prompt and reasonable. I originally went there to get the bridge guard they have for restringing classical guitars. It prevents scratching the face around the bridge. I looked around, liked their prices on strings and bought some. I use proarte composites on my Sahlin. My only complaint with them is they discolor quickly no matter how much you try to keep them clean. Eric Sahlin is in Spokane, Washington, USA. He is an excellant luthier that has an eight year waiting list if you get the guitar directly from him. However, if you do, he will built just like you want. Go to www.guitarsalon.com and check it out. They carry some of his guitars. |
