Rooted in generations of D’Addario string making expertise, Pro-Arte’ Black Nylon is our archetypal classical set. The bass strings are made with a multifilament nylon core and wound with silver-plated copper, for an exceptionally warm and consistent response. Coupled with black nylon treble strings, which deliver sweet, mellow highs, Pro-Arte’ Black Nylon gives you the sound and feel that has come to define classical guitar. This Normal Tension set is our best-selling tension, preferred for the balance of rich tone, comfortable feel, and dynamic projection.
