1.0 out of 5 stars Strings give hard metallic sound
Reviewed in Belgium on June 23, 2024

Extremely difficult to tune.
Some notes must be pulled up or tuned down even 20, 30 cents to reach the chord harmony. Tuning to the point with electronic tuners gives absolutely inaccurate effects.
Must change asap.

Der Klang ist nicht so schlecht.
Eher gut, aber ich nahm sie als Ersatz für eine Ed Sheeran Gitarre (Lowden) und muss sagen, dass diese Saiten auf keinen Fall die Originalen ersetzen.
Leider bekommt man aktuell die orig. Lowden nicht und Alternativen gibt es nach vielen Tests nicht.
Vorerst müssen die reichen. Denn auch Gibson, Martin und Co klingen auf einer Lowden nicht wirklich gut.
Ansonsten bleiben sie stabil und sind kaum temperaturabhängig.
Gut spielbar.
