La Bella Has Over 400 Years of String Making Experience
The tradition of string making dates back to the 1640s in Salle, Italy, where the Mari family supplied gut strings to the famous violin builders of Cremona. In 1913, brothers Olinto & Emilio Mari arrived in New York bringing their family craft to the States. Over the years, the brothers shaped the landscape of the string industry with their innovative designs. Every set is manufactured using a perfect combination of traditional methods and latest technologies to produce a superior string.

This special construction keeps the traditional string gauges and outlasts every other high tension string on the market.

The first thing noticed was that pure flamenco sound as soon as i performed some rasgueados. The bass strings have an awesome sound that when doing pulgar techniques will make your notes pop. Very addictive sound from these flamenco strings. Will be ordering more soon !

Amazing guitar strings. I love the black colored treble strings too.These strings sounded amazing since I got them in the mail in January 7th. The D string ripped three days ago, but it was my fault as I should have replaced them already. I play Flamenco(mostly bulerias), and some classical every single day.The sound is so rich. I don't have any other creative way of being able to explain it. I usually buy D'Addarios but these blew them out of the park. Picado, alzapua, tremolo, and everything else sounds amazing with these strings. I plan on getting Tomatito strings next to keep on testing what works best on my Cordoba guitar. It might sound better on some guitars than on others, but for my model, it has worked great.

These strings deliver almost exactly what I was looking for. The trebles are resonant and projecting and the basses are bright. For reference, my flamenco guitar is a Cordoba F10 which generates a great sound and is very playable, but the basses tend to be very percussive (which some people like, where I prefer a brighter bass). These strings did the trick and the sound is great. One thing to note about the LaBella strings is that the low tension is more of a "normal" tension from other string manufacturers (judging by the actual lbs of tension on the string itself). I was looking for a low tension string, but normal is fine; however, that is part of why I deducted 1 start. The second reason is the price. These are relatively expensive strings for what you get. I would say that the D'Addario flamenco set is just about as good (basses not quite as bright) and substantially less.

These strings have a nice tone for the tension and I really like them on a guitar that has had issues with the bridge because of that reason. For the price and quality these are great low tension strings that retain a clarity of sound for a long time.

I absolutely love these strings. I put them on my Yamaha yg372 after having D'addario's on it. I liked the D'addario's but will be sticking to the Labella fro now on. Superior sound and feel especially on the trebels. Wow! What a difference! I also just re-strung another guitar with more expensive strings but an unnamed manufacturer that begins with an S....... but they are not as good.

I really like the sound and feel of these low tension basses. They are easier to play, but sound expressive and sweet. Not floppy. But the trebles weren't good quality or good for me at all. The 3rd string was defective, wouldn't intonate and was defective in its tuning stability generally as well. And trebles feel hard on the finger tips and much less comfortable than thicker strings rated at more tension from a regular nylon set. I did get some quick wear on the wound 4th string, but nothing other than a visual issue so far. In the future, I might buy just this bass set where I can get them, and pick other strings for the trebles. At the moment I have the basses paired with some daddario moderate tension rectified trebles (their low tension for rectified) which I lightly polished (carefully) with very high grit micro mesh pads to ease off some of that finger noise.

After installing them they loose tuning of trying for 3 days now.The high tone string 321 or GBE are dull and not so bright on my Cordoba Flamenco 55FCE guitarI would say that the D'Addario flamenco set is just about as good or even better for

Estupendas, creà que por ser menor tensión trastearian en mi Alhambra 7FC.Pero no es el caso, muy cómodas y suenan de lujo.Por contra hay que afinar a menudo.Para mà geniales, las recomiendo

Tras un mes de uso puedo decir que se trata de unas buenas cuerdas, con buen equilibrio de sonido entre las primas y bordones. Sonido profundo y brillo en los agudos. Las pondrÃa un escalón por debajo de las Savarez Tomatito hard tensión y otro por encima de las D’Addario ProArte EJ46.Otro punto a favor, es el detalle de las primas en color negro, quedan de fábula en mi guitarra negra de palosanto.Como ya sabréis, estas cuerdas de tensión fuerte no son recomendables para guitarras sin mástil reforzado.
