Hannabach 815 MT - Medium Tension Classical Guitar Strings

Medium Tension - Not!

I had read good reviews of the Hannabach 815s so I was anxious to try them. What I didn’t know was their “tension classification” is very different from other makers (e.g., D’Addario, Savarez, Ramirez, etc.). I put on the medium tension strings and could tell immediately they were significantly higher tension. I did some research, and Hannabach’s are much higher tension than similarly classified strings from other makers. The Hannabach MT is higher tension than the D’Addario EJ46 (high tension), big difference! The Hannabach SLT (super low tension) is equivalent to the D’Addario EJ45 (medium tension). So, I removed the Hannabach 815 MT set and put on some spare D’Addario EJ45s. All that said, the limited exposure I had to the Hannabach 815 MTs makes me think they have a lot of potential. So, I ordered a set of the 815 SLTs and will write a review of them once I try them out.

Thanks Geoff for your quick response and fast delivery of my preferred Hannabach strings, and for your prompt assistance. It was a pleasure talking with you and I look forward to continuing doing business with you. Chordially🎶 MB

Good ordering experience. Strings seem to be good quality

My online ordering experience with ex guitars was good. Very easy to find the product I was looking for and pay. I have not had the strings I ordered long enough to evaluate their quality, but they seem to be very good.
