Description
The Savarez 500CR Corum Cristal (red card) is the normal tension set with Cristal clear nylon trebles and Corum basses. Cristal trebles have the warm, rounded character of traditional nylon with good clarity, and the silver-plated Corum basses on a multifilament Stabilon core give an even, clear low register. Normal tension makes the set comfortable on any standard classical guitar and a safe choice for lighter-built instruments.
Savarez has made strings in Lyon, France, since 1770 and pioneered the fluorocarbon treble with its Alliance line; its sets are color-coded by card: red for normal tension, blue for high, yellow for extra high. The 500CJ is the high tension version.

I haven’t tried them yet, but the first order of rice sets got lost by USPS, without hesitation the sent me 5 more sets, exceptional policy!!! Thank you
Nice feel and sound
They seem to be a good fit with my Ramirez. I have tried dozens of strings with all different tensions for this guitar. I have had tone issues with the "G" strings (as many others have as well). So far these Salvarez Corum Cristal strings medium tension sound good. There is a good balance between the G string treble and the B and E. Time will tell.
Just put these strings on my Alhambra Mengual NT which I got in July. My go to strings have always been D'Addario EJ 45, BUT now that I have experienced these strings, I'm hooked! They have increased the volume and sustain significantly!
Thank you Geoff for the recommendation! Once again you were right!!
