Augustine Classic Red Nylon Classical Guitar Strings, Medium Tension offer a harmonious blend of normal tension trebles and medium tension basses. Perfect for musicians looking for a balance of gentleness and a rich, full sound, these strings are Augustine's most popular set. Augustine Strings were developed in the 1940s by Albert Augustine, a Danish immigrant, guitar enthusiast, and publisher, in collaboration with virtuoso classical guitarist Andrés Segovia. Augustine's strings, made from a new innovative nylon material and refined through discussions with Segovia, were used in the virtuoso's concerts worldwide and have become highly sought after by guitarists for their durability and brilliant sound. Players that have shaped the art of the guitar as it has come to be known in the 20th century - from Segovia to Olga Coelho, to the Abreu Brothers, Julian Bream - have all played “Augustine Strings.” Show more
