About Ernie Ball Ernesto Palla Nylon Black and Gold Classical Ball End Set
Overall Feedback:
94% positive
81% appreciated the long-lasting strings, though 19% experienced premature wear
These strings have held their elasticity, comfort and sound longer than expected, and have a longer wear-in time from nylon strings than usual.
The black nylon strings are thicker and not slippery on the fingers. They are good for practicing picados and tremolos.
I have only been using the product for a couple of weeks, so I cannot rate its durability. However, I have consistently experienced 'top quality' from this manufacturer.
When the strings break, they do not leave any bite marks under the bridge.

75% liked the ease of playability, but 25% found it too stiff
The strings have the tone quality for classical Spanish guitar arpeggios and can transition seamlessly to contemporary songs.
After using these strings, I can play like Stevie Ray Vaughn & Eric Clapton combined.
I initially found it difficult to adjust to the classical guitar strings because they were bigger than metal strings. However, after a few days, I became comfortable with it and loved it. Now, my fingers don't hurt and the sound is very soft and smooth.

86% found it easy to install
After installing the strings, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality and minimal buzzing.
74% praised for its consistent string quality, while 26% noticed variations
I have found that these nylon strings hold their elasticity, comfort, and sound longer than expected, with a wear-in time of about 3 hours.
I have complained that the A string snaps before being tuned to an A and only goes as high as A flat before losing tuning. I tried to tighten it again to attempt to tune, until it snapped.
89% praised for its rich and warm tone, while 11% found it lacking clarity
The strings have the tone quality for classical Spanish guitar arpeggios and can transition seamlessly to contemporary songs.
Many people are complaining about the dead sounding tone of these strings.
I noticed that the strings sound thin and tinny compared to the heavier nylons I normally use. Although they are thinner and more delicate on fingers, they don't deliver the smoother, more buttery tone of other strings out there.
