Hannabach 815 HT Silver Special Set Classical Guitar Strings High Tension

Hannabach 815 HT Silver Special strings are made for classical guitarists who want a powerful, articulate tone with strong projection. This high-tension set pairs precision-round clear nylon trebles (E1, B2, G3), known for a clear sound and accurate intonation, with silver-plated basses (D4, A5, E6) for a rich, focused tone and excellent projection.

Each bass has a strong synthetic fiber core wound with hard silver-plated round wire. The strings are free of nickel and cadmium, so they suit players with metal sensitivities. The eco-friendly packaging holds trebles and basses together in a single unit, which cuts down on waste.

Handmade in Germany, the 815HT is a dependable choice for classical guitarists who expect quality and performance.

The tension figures match Hannabach's published values, which several retailers list identically. Strings By Mail's own measurements run slightly higher (for example 17.54 lbs on the E1), but those are their device readings, not Hannabach's spec.
