Savarez Corum Alliance Classical Guitar Strings 500AR

These sets combine plain composite KF Alliance trebles (also found in Alliance/HT Classic sets) with Corum wound basses. The KF ALLIANCE fibre used for the trebles has the same density and elongation properties as gut.

"The CORUM basses offers a perfect balance coupled with the KF ALLIANCE trebles, exclusive to Savarez."

KF Alliance Treble Strings

These strings are made of the now well-known composite monofilament ALLIANCE KF (some people call them carbon strings) , exclusive to Savarez. Years of research have been necessary to adapt this material to the demands of the musicians and to get an outstanding product for music uses.

The use of KF ALLIANCE material first introduced by Savarez, changed the world of guitar. The strings were first made of gut then made of nylon. The trebles are now made of a high technological material, very different from nylon : different elasticity, higher density, further longevity thanks to the very specific cristallinity grade.

In fact we have been working on the following topics to guarantee the technological and acoustic qualities of this material to make it convenient for music strings :

• Tensile strength,
• Mastery of the elasticity and elongation,
• Control of the geometrical regularity of the diameter for a perfect intonation. The gauge obtained is absolutely regular without resorting to a mechanical polishing. The string gauge control is done throughout the manufacturing process. The last laser control is done when packaging,
• Solving the fraying phenomenon (defibrillation): typically bound to any composite material, due to the breaking of the links between molecules. This phenomenon leads to the appearance of small superficial threads (until the string breaks) under a given tension.

We do actually master these various parameters. Thus we have the sufficient knowledge to adapt the material to the use of harmonic strings for other instruments: violin, harp, lute, etc.

The KF ALLIANCE fibre has the same density and elongation properties as gut.

Its density is higher than the polyamide fibres.

The KF ALLIANCE strings are thinner than the nylon ones. They can resist a 35kg tension (harp).

The low internal frictions between the molecules increase the durability of the string beside a sustained sound.

(Mi-E1, Si-B2, Sol-G3) monofilament. The G-3rd string provides a great homogeneous transition between the B-2nd and the D-4th. It ideally balances with the other strings of the set in terms of sound quality. It is no more necessary to use a G wound string to balance the set.

KF Alliance strings have the following Acoustic properties:

• Bright tone and clean sound,
• Richness of sound,
• Very extensive possibilities,
• Incomparable power and projection of the sound,
• An even greater sustained sound,
• Very clear sound on the high and very high positions.

Corum Wound Basses - The Basses Revolution

The second fundamental SAVAREZ innovation These silver plated wound basses represent a second revolution in the world of guitar (KF ALLIANCE composite fibre trebles being the first revolution). They are the only one to offer an exceptional flexibility associated with the proper stiffness. They also offer an improved pliability compared to the traditional strings.

Our technological discoveries enable us to manufacture strings of greater pliability unlike anything else in the world, offering a very quick and accurate response.

Their flexibility allows the musician to build his own sound, to create many other colours of sounds and nuances.

Their design has been based on a reduction of the internal frictions. The string hardly vibrates, the sound lasts longer at a higher level.

The CORUM basses offers a perfect balance coupled with the KF ALLIANCE trebles, exclusive to Savarez.

When playing, the CORUM basses high tension, blue colour, offer a normal tension string feeling (ease in playing without extra efforts). They possess all the characteristics of a high tension string (velocity, support, quick response, etc).

Corum wound basses have the following playing characteristics:

* Flexibility, * Quick response to be compared to a high tension string, * Brilliant, accurate and direct sound, * Clean sound, * Longer sustain and volume, * Ease in playing, * Tremendous increase in sound modulation and expressive possibilities (expressiveness, nuances, more sound colours).
