If you are looking for a light, but sonorous set of classical guitar strings, and don't feel you need to buy the most expensive set out there, let me suggest the Gold Label light strings. They sound great, and are well made, easy to string and tune, bringing your guitar back to life as it were. I like these strings a lot!

Just tried these for the first time about 2 months ago. Now I won't use anything else. They sound a little brighter than any other set I've used. They have the shortest break in period of any other string I've used. I love em!

My newest guitar is an Antonio Arapicio 130 and I have been searching for those perfect strings that bring out the perfect tone. The Augustine Gold label strings are some of the best sounding strings I have tried. They feel a little smoother than other strings and I had to adjust my playing slightly to compensate. After the 2nd day the strings kept very stable pitch and don't seem to go out of pitch very badly at all as my guitar warms up to match my body temperature. The tension feels slightly lighter than I expected based on other people's reviews. The transition between the tone of the 4th and 3rd strings is pretty smooth as well.

My only complaint is that the metal wound strings do appear to get corroded and gunky faster than some other strings, which is slightly disappointing. I have used them for about a month and the tone has stayed consistent and strong. I expect about 2 months of life out of a set of these strings.

Although I am still searching and trying out different strings for my new guitar, I suspect I will probably come back to these strings.
