Strings For Classical Guitar?

[larragon]

I'd like to try learning to play classical guitar.  I recently purchased a (relatively) inexpensive classical and wanted to get some opinions on guitar strings to use.  I have my preference(s) for my steel stringed acoustics but would welcome any input from our classical guitar players out there.

Any suggestions?

I have used Augustine for the most part but that is not a strong endorsement because most brands sound pretty similar even on my Ramirez 1a. If you are a beginner go for medium tension as it will be a little easier to play. You might think a classical would be easier to fret and to some extent that is true but barre chords can still be a chore due to the wide fingerboard.

My personal fav is hard tension by GHS. They have a bit of texture to them (not polished). Good lusty tone. But each guitar is different, and you might have to try lots of different strings. You can ask at the "Classical Corner" at the acousticguitar forum, but you will get a load of different answers AND combinations of brands.

Galli hard tension. They last long. Oh yeah.

I started on a classical back in the early 80s.  I've owned several classical guitars since then and tried many brands but Augustine Blues have always been my string.  They just seem more alive to me, more responsive.  Just an opinion of course.

I appreciate all your input.  This will give me a starting point of strings to use.
