Product Information
D'Addario's Pro-Arté Lightly Polished Composite sets represent a refined approach to classical string design, engineered to minimise finger noise without sacrificing the warm, articulate tone that professional players expect. Built by a manufacturer with decades of stringmaking heritage, these hard-tension nylon strings address a practical tension point: achieving clean, quiet technique while maintaining projection and tonal richness across the full scale.
Construction centres on clear nylon treble strings paired with silver-plated copper bass windings, wound around exclusive composite core material. The lightly polished finish reduces friction against the fingerboard, enabling effortless slides and quieter performance during position shifts. Each set includes an extra composite 3rd/G-string, engineered to increase projection and balance. Hard tension delivers greater resistance at the bridge, producing rich tone and stronger acoustic output–a choice favoured by players prioritising volume and sustain over lighter tactile response. These are tie-end, full-scale configurations, compatible with classical guitars requiring traditional bridge-pin attachment.
The composite core material beneath the polished surface allows for consistent intonation while the silver-plated copper wraps preserve the brightness classical technique demands. This combination makes the set practical for both studio recording–where low finger noise matters–and performance contexts where projection cannot be compromised.
