Hannabach hand-made guitar strings offer an extremely attractive alternative to better-known brands from the larger string companies, attractive in terms of quality, price and range.

Hannabach is a long-established Gemany family business which has been making strings for a range of instruments for well over 100 years.

Hannabach strings are still hand made and individually inspected although the company uses advanced technologies and innovative materials.

Hannabach offers special sets for intensive users such as professional performers and advanced students. These money saving "pro" packs contain 10 sets of strings with 3 extra D4 strings (to allow for the more rapid wear of this string).

Hannabach strings are generally available in a broader range of tensions for each type of string than those from other manufacturers such as Savarez or D'Addario.

The Hannabach range for the classical guitar is as follows -

• Silver Plated Classic Guitar Strings Series 800 - Hand-made strings with basses made from silver-plated copper wire wound around high strength nylon core and the trebles made from clear nylon.
• Custom Made Classic Guitar Strings Series 728 - The newly-developed basses are based on highly resiliant plastic fibres surrounded with hard silver-plated round section wires. The treble strings are finely calibrated and have a crystal-clear sonority.
• Pure Gold Plated Classic Guitar Strings Series 825 - Treble strings in clear, precisely rounded, nylon with a "permanently polished" surface. The processing ensures 100% intonation and a clear and brilliant tone. The 24 carat gold-plating on the winding on the basses imparts a pure homogeneous sound and a full sustaining tone. It also provides corrosion proofing thereby substantially prolonging useful string life.
• Silver 200 Classic Guitar Strings Series 900 The bass strings in this series are individually braided with silver-coated wire. As a result, the Silver 200 strings wear out less rapidly and are characterised by a brilliant and powerful sound. The trebles are Precision Rounded giving 100% intonation and a clear and brilliant tone.
• Carbon Classic Guitar Treble Strings - Carbon trebles can be combined with any set of Hannabach bass strings. They are supplied as medium-high tension.
• Goldin Classic Guitar Strings Series 725 - The trebles are made of a golden yellow super carbon, which gives them a softer, warmer sound than conventional carbon strings. The basses are characterised by a novel, high density, highly resistant plastic core. Winding wires are made of "Goldin", a recently developed golden yellow metal alloy (100% nickel and cadmium-free). These basses sound clearly and brilliantly.
• Titanyl Classic Guitar Strings Series 950 - The treble strings are made from a new polyamide mixture (giving the distinctive light grey colour). These are precision-rounded and have a clear, distinct sound, openly brilliant. The bass strings have a high strength, flexible core and are wound with a newly developed "long life" silver alloyed wire. They have a sonorous tone development with beautiful, clear overtones.
• PSP Polished Classic Guitar Strings Series 850 - Treble strings in clear, precisely rounded, nylon with a "permanently polished" surface. The processing ensures 100% intonation and a clear and brilliant tone. PSP stands for Precision Smooth Polished. The precision-ground bass strings reduce noise when changing positions, making them ideal for studio (or even home) recording and amplified stage performance.
• Flamenco Guitar Strings Series 827 - The basses have a high-tenacity nylon core wound with "Silverspecial" round wire. The trebles are precision-rounded, golden-yellow, monfilament nylon specifcally selected for the flamenco guitar. Available ex stock as full sets in Super High tension and High tension.
