Your opinions Please

Hi, I would appreciate some feedback on the best strings (manufacturer & material). I bought a baritone Kala EA-EB Koa wood guitar and like to play ballads and softer type songs. I'd love to hear some feedback on the best strings for this type of music. I read about some synthetic "gut" strings that were supposed to have a good sound. Are gut better sounding than wound? Any thoughts comments would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Kim

Dont know what the best is, but I know what works for me. I like to play blues, jazz etc mostly. I like Aquila Nyguts. They seem to be a fuller warmer sound to me that fits that, and may fit your stuff too..

I also like Fremont Flourocarbons as well, but they tend to be a little bit brighter than the Aquilas..

Hope this helps at least some..

Hi and welcome. I play jazz and swing, baritone only. I recently discovered Southcoast low G string (linear) and I am fully converted. I've since ordered multiple sets. I love the tension and they have a warm, mellow sound. Great strings.
