The Savarez T50R Tomatito is the normal tension flamenco set developed with the flamenco guitarist Tomatito: New Cristal clear nylon on the E and B, an Alliance KF composite (carbon) third, and silver-plated basses on a multifilament core. The nylon trebles have the warmth and snap flamenco needs, the carbon G adds clarity and speed, and the basses bite cleanly with the fast decay that keeps rasgueado and golpe crisp. Normal tension keeps the action feel light and quick.
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 T50J is the high tension version.
Two NEW CRISTAL clear nylon trebles (E-1,B-2), ALLIANCE KF G-3 string, and silver plated basses wound on a new multifilament core.
SAVAREZ and Tomatito specially crafted these strings to have immediate and precise response, the projection and the particular sounds each flamenco player is looking for.
The velocity is much easier. The flamenco style of playing with its rasgueado,
alzapua, and picado is free and secure. The strings benefit from new materials and treatments, and state of the art technologies which insure their high quality and long lasting performance.
