Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: What is the difference between these and the standard 1P set?

• A: While both feature the long-lasting Nickel-Silver basses, the 1P-F set utilizes Red Nylon trebles specifically voiced for the percussive and bright "growl" required in Flamenco music.

• Q: Does the "Nickel-Silver" winding feel different from silver-plated copper?

• A: It feels very similar under the fingers but is significantly more resistant to oxidation, meaning the strings won't turn black or lose their "zip" as quickly as standard silver-plated strings.

• Q: Are these strings suitable for a standard classical guitar?

• A: Yes! While voiced for Flamenco, they are an excellent choice for any player who prefers a brighter, more articulate sound with unique visual flair from the red trebles.
