The Augustine Classic Red pairs normal tension Classic nylon trebles with medium tension silver-plated basses. It is the most comfortable set Augustine makes: warm, mellow trebles and a generous, forgiving bass that is easy on the fingers and the instrument. The traditional nylon voice suits spruce-topped guitars that can use a little rounding off, students, and anyone who values feel and warmth over maximum volume.
Augustine, founded in New York in 1947, made the first nylon classical guitar strings in collaboration with Andrés Segovia, and its color-coded sets have defined the traditional classical sound ever since. The Classic Blue adds high tension basses for more drive.
Warm. Mellow. Generous.
Normal tension trebles and medium tension basses create one of Augustine Strings most comfortable combinations. Forgiving softness and full tone make Classic/Red Augustine's most popular set.
