To Pickinbuddy. Wow, that is so interesting! I have been using Tomastik-Infeld Classic S strings which is the rope core string that you describe, on and off for several years. I just found out that they are for much more than nylon string guitars. I started using them on regular steel string guitars and the sound is just huge through a Baggs pickup, for example. Sometimes the nut needs to modified to accomodate them. But the sound is sensational!
WOW! He is using a brazilian Del Vecchio acoustic guitar called "Violão Dinâmico". It was orinally made in the 50s. But this model was originally built to use nylon strings.
@heberthybr The Del Vecchio actually used silk & steel strings; Nato Lima of Los Indios Tabajaras used Dr. Thomastik strings which were 'nylon tape wound on rope core' for the 3 treble strings; and 'silverplated copper flat wound on rope core' for the 3 bass strings. These are similar to violin strings!
Thomastik is an incredible company with so many new ideas in string manufacturing.
@heberthybr I bought my Del Vecchio in October 1975 in Sao Paulo at their store on Rua Aurora 196. What a beautiful store--they had all the different Resofonico modelo on display--and I was able to pick out the best sounding one! I still have it, and it sounds beautiful. Back then, the only nylon string instruments they made were the standard classical models--their top of the line, being the "Segovia" model. I will never forget that day--I still have all the brochures.
@Pickinbuddy How do you know that they used Tomastiks? That was a long time ago. Just curious because I can't find anything on that and I currently use the Tomastik strings you are describing.
@DickandCarol1 Well, Nato Lima GAVE me 3 Thomastik sets to try out and told me that these were the best string for the Del Vecchio! He himself used them in the later years...Los Indios usually used LaBella strings on the Del Vecchio for many years, though I don't know what set they used on the Classical guitars, as nylon strings.
Respond to this video... How do you know that Los Indios Tabajaras used Tomastics. I can't find anything on that. I have just discovered these strings and just wondered.
This was my favorite track on The Come Together, America Salutes The Beatles CD. Chet & Suzy do a great rendition and Chets version of his guitar guitar is excellent! George Harrison's guitar solo was supposebly a style to copy Chet Atkins on The Beatles version.
