D'Addario Folk Nylon Classical Strings EJ34, Ball End, Black

The D'Addario EJ32 Folk Nylon Guitar Strings have a silver wound and black nylon treble combination with ball ends. D'Addario hasn't graded the Folk series by tension category, but the tension of these strings ranges between 11.7 lbs and 16.5 lbs. According to the manufacturer, the set produces a light feel, softer treble tones, and basses with low attack. They work great for playing acoustic guitars without amplifiers, producing gentle low volume. When amplified using on-board pickup or microphone, or a combination of both, guitarists can easily control the strings without the typical 'pop,' 'snap,' and 'brittle' tones associated with other nylon strings that are amplified. These strings fit standard steel-string guitars, including full-size acoustic types such as Yamaha guitars. The trebles fit the holes in the bridges of steel-string guitars. And if you string them on a 3/4 scale nylon string guitar, they might work for the 3-5 year olds. Customer feedback has generally been positive, citing the beautiful sound, soft tone, and ease of playing as some of the significant benefits. However, some people complained that the strings didn't stay in tune and that they were of low quality, especially the nylon ones. One person reported that the high E string snapped without warning. Another customer also complained about the long time it took to stretch them.
