Man is absolutely right. I am now only playing Knobloch STERLING SILVER QZ Nylon and they have opened the sound and true resonance of my guitar. absolutely worth it.
Knobloch have quickly become my favorite strings. Interesting interview and for those unhappy about not hearing the guest name mentioned, its in the video description.
I've been using Knobloch strings since 2020. They were considered more of a boutique brand then, but are increasingly branching out. Overall, they last longer than other sets and have an excellent intonation. I was initially interested to try them when they issued the Leo Brouwer set; I figured if Brouwer uses them, they must be good. Great to see they're committed to trying new ideas, like in the Duo Assad set, which I've not seen here in the USA (yet). That color coded set with the string sets compared would be a useful resource to post on their website.
Interesting discussion. My understanding about tension is that it is proportional to elasticity. Did I hear correctly that some strings may be high tension but lower elasticity. Does this mean that the knoblock strings are not homogeneous with respect to tension and elasticity? For example, high tension and elasticity parallel to the string while less tension and elasticity tangential to the string.
We didn't even get the name of the guest. Not a good interview. But I strongly recommend Knobloch strings for classical guitar. I finished my classsical guitar diploma 2012 and also I make guitars and I tried virtually every manufacturer during my studies. Knoblochs are best balanced in every regard, also they last longer than usual. After trying out every brand many times, they have the best value for money. It's a nobrainer - best classical guitar strings today.
I should like to try these, except that they are very hard to find in UK, whereas postage make a set or two to try very expensive if I buy from Germany or Netherlands etc., sadly.
Knobloch win hands down for strings. I find they last only very slightly longer but they have the best sound, intonation and feel. Quality control is excellent, haven't had one set differ from a previous one.
Is string tension related to how prone the strings are to the "squeak & creak" noises that most guitarists sometimes make when repositioning their left hand? Might it be possible to design strings that would suppress those noises?
It has nothing to do with tension. The squeaking comes when finger move along the rough surface of metal wounded bass strings. Ideally it should be avoided by slightly lift the finger when you shift positions but it's almost impossible to do it perfectly so you will always hear some squeak noise even from the best guitarists. Some brands offer polished bass strings that will greatly minimize this problem, but I haven't found a good polished bass set that sounds as good as regular one. But I know many guitarist will use polished strings for recordings just to make life easier.
@@nasigil5928 : Perhaps with more research a better solution will be discovered. If not a different string design, perhaps a coating for the strings or a coating for the fingertips.
“Who is this that speaks to me as though I needed his advice?” I don’t think the interviewer even gave us the interviewee’s name. This is how NOT to conduct an interview.
We don't care about the presenter' s name, if you watch Siccas guitar you 'll see him many times. As to his introduction it was ok, he had study his subject. And his questions were very smart.

London Guitar Studio stocks a wide range of Knobloch strings. Check them out!

Sometimes the character of the strings is stronger than the character of the guitar but the character of the guitar is better. ¡Ojo!
That was a lot of text, but I heard not one string.

Polished basses. But I heard they do not sound as good.

used EDC34.0 on my guitars and they are better sounding no doubt.
Why the left guy talks forever?
The guitar must develope to a 8th stringued instrument
Please tell me that Knobloch also sell chastity belts.
Why do you want a chastity belt from Knobloch?
Knob block. I think that’s the joke anyway
@@gwada9718 Oh yeah. As someone fluent in German, this went way over my head.
Please let your invited guest explain these strings. He knows all about it. Not you, the interviewer.
Please let the guitar expert decide on the show format. Not you, the random twink who showed up with no skin in the game.

Indeed, we don't even know who the interviewee is. These video uploads are total rubbish

Bad quality interviewer.
