Masters in the Moment: Aniello Desiderio | D'Addario Classical Guitar Strings

Description
Rooted in generations of string-making mastery, the D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arté Normal Tension Classical Guitar Strings set delivers the archetypal classical guitar tone that has come to define the genre. The bass strings feature a multifilament nylon core wound with silver-plated copper, producing rich, resonant lows and a balanced tension. Coupled with clear nylon treble strings for sweet, mellow highs, the Pro-Arté set gives players an exceptionally warm and consistent response throughout the fretboard.
Normal Tension for Dynamic Playability
D'Addario's best-selling tension, the Normal Tension set offers a comfortable feel and projection ideal for solo or ensemble playing. The lighter gauge—28, 32, and 40 for the bass and 29, 35, 43 for the treble—facilitates intricate fingerpicking and dynamic strumming techniques with ease.
Pure, resonance-enhancing Materials
The Pro-Arté strings are constructed using only the finest quality materials to maximize tone and longevity. The multifilament nylon bass strings and monofilament nylon treble strings provide a clear, resonant sound with subtle overtones. Silver-plated copper windings add warmth and punch to the lower register. These durable materials keep the strings fresh and in tune through hours of playing.
Trusted by Top Players
D'Addario is the world's largest string manufacturer, and their Pro-Arté line is trusted by countless professional classical guitarists for its unmatched quality and tone. The EJ45 set delivers the tone, feel and projection that has defined the classical guitar sound for generations. The D'Addario EJ45 Pro-Arte are the perfect choice for musicians seeking authentic nylon-string tone.

D'Addario classical strings
I own a Ibanez GA3 classical guitar, and the strings that came with it snapped the first day. I picked these D'Addario classical strings from Guitar Center, and was astonished by the tone. The texture of these strings is very smooth, which is easy on the fingers. I've been using these strings for 4 months now, and they still have a bright tone, just like the day i got them.

I WOULD buy this product again but.....
The strings are great, a proven user for me and, if a client wanted normal tension, I'd buy them again (and they only had 1 set!!!). I would do EVERYTHING to NOT buy them from Guitar Center, where buying 1 set of guitar strings, clearly holds no weight. I waited in a line of 2 people for 20 minutes and needed to ask someone behind the counter (who was ignoring me) is he knew how to use a register because I needed to go back to work!

Great sound! I've been buying them for many years for several different nylon string guitars. They sound great, are easy to install (as easy as installing strings might be), and I've never run into a quality problem with even one of them. I don't believe I've ever had one break. I re-install about once/year and am always amazed at the difference in brightness of sound with the new ones. It takes about a week after install before they stabilize in tuning to not require frequent tuning.
D'addario JA45s best for my thinline acoustic.

These are the best strings that work with my Ibanez thinline acoustic guitar. They are the perfect tension and the closest to the strings that came with it stock. Great tone!! Sweepstakes #140

Bought a new guitar, and the factory strings were basically trash, so ordered these. Staff at the store were very friendly and courteous, pulled my order and made me feel like a valuable customer.
Good strings

How are normal tension and medium tension nylon strings different? I currently use medium tension.
