Augustine Classic Red - Medium Tension

I bought these medium tensions for an old classical guitar, I probably should have purchased the high tension and will do so next. These are ideal for guitars with lighter tops if you want to reduce string tension and a tendency for the top to show some slight lifting. I think that for projection and power, the high tension strings are probably better but I'm happy with the tone these produce. Not overpowering but balanced and predictable. These strings seem to not vary from pack to pack and that's important to me. Placing them on a guitar made in the 1940's seemed obvious, though I think now the guitar could have handled their high tension strings as well. A long time standard for a lot of players.

I've tried many different strings over the years and these are the best sounding and feeling by far imo. The other Augustine strings are very good too if you prefer a different tension. There may be better out there, but I've probably tried them if they were less than $30 a set and I keep running back to these.

This is a good string with good tone. However, i do think the quality and durability is poor compared to other competing brands with same prices. That's why i gave 3 stars. If you want to use this strings for a short amount of time, these are great strings for a classical guitar.

I have been using these strings for a while and I kind of like the sound. The only downside is that the strings need some time to settle, about four to five days, comparing to Daddario, which need a day or two to be in tune. Also, the strings do not last long. If you are a professional player, the strings will last you for only one week, and, then they will be dead as you put the blanket over your guitar. I have seen some longer lasting strings that also need less time to settle when they are fresh. There are no perfect strings and perfect player. It is all the matter of preference.

Been using Augustine Reds for over 40 years. The best!

I've used these for years on my classical guitars and they really have the perfect balance of smooth feel and bright tone. My favorite part is changing the strings out because when they are loose it feels like you are playing with metal thats been turned into silk. The sound and playability on the top priority though and for me these have it in spades. The medium tension isn't as bright as the tighter ones of course but for me these have a very balanced warmth and brightness.

Was supposed to be 2 sets. Was only one.

Simply the best strings that you can buy for nylon-string guitar. I will never use anything different. They've got Segovia's endorsement, so you know they're good.
