Feature:
Ball end is convenient when restringing.

Quality:
The "D" string breaks after a couple of weeks. This happened with *three* packs of strings!

Value:
Again, the "D" string breaking after only modest use is unforgivable.

Desirability:
Looks like most other sets of classical guitar strings I've seen.

Sound:
Sounds OK.

Ease of Use:
It's a guitar string, what can you say?

Support:
Haven't used it.

Overall:
Sorry, I won't be purchasing any more of these strings.

Location: Bataan, Philippines

Feature:
Classical guitars don't need ball ends.

Quality:
Yes it is true, the "D" string breaks after a couple of weeks. I'm not an aggressive player and never tried to trill the strings with a pick. But what's wrong with the "D" string? It breaks easily in the middle of the fretboard.

Value:
String life is too short for the price paid. Again the "D" string breaks easily.

Desirability:
I'll never get another pack again.

Sound:
The sound is good for me but a little more sad than romantic.

Ease of Use:
The strings are hard to tune at standard tuning. You can feel the tension easily.

Support:
Never tried customer support.

Overall:
To save the string life, tune a whole step down.
