FYI, you can see more string reviews here.
Albert Augustine Regal Strings – I’ve been trying out a set of these strings. Thanks to the kind and generous site supporter who gifted them to me via the support page. I don’t know why it took me so long to try out this popular brand of strings, I once had a defective pack of Reds and I think I just didn’t try again. Anyway, these are a surprisingly nice sounding string, warm and full, good for traditional repertoire. The G is a bit thuddy but overall a beautiful string for solo playing. They won’t be my go-to string but I’d happily play them.
Augustine Regals Strings (Amazon) – I tried out the Extra High Trebles / High Basses. A very nice sounding string, mellow and warm basses and warm round trebles but not without clarity. Projection is good overall for a clear nylon string. The third string is a bit thuddy and thick but that goes for all companies using clear nylon. Anyone who likes carbon strings or some of the above mixes I mention might want something brighter but they do sound beautiful and are a step up from D’Addario pro arte (less plasticky, a bit more pure if that makes sense). If you want a beautiful, warm string with decent projection these are good. Most similar to Savarez New Cristals. I’d be happy to play on these but would love a hybrid set with a carbon G.
The Silly Loop – The silly loop does not fit through my tuning peg holes or bridge holes, I have to cut them before and then cut them again. That is annoying, it’s no big deal at all, don’t let it stop you, but why do I need to cut twice? Do they think this is classy?
I made a few videos with these on but not with the intention of reviewing the strings, they happen to be on at the time.
The name of these strings is Regal, and they mention high tension in the label. Why yours show differently?
I like Augustine strings!
I like Augustine Imperial Blues and don’t notice a thud on third string. I use high tension for my short scale guitar.
