Savarez Cantiga strings classical guitar

Cantiga achieves the Savarez line with an incredible sound and added characteristics : harmonics and overtone spectrum, precise response, long lasting sound and easy playing.   They are perfectly included in the Savarez line and offer very new choices to the musicians.  The union is fantastic between Cantiga basses and the famous Alliance KF trebles acclaimed for their brilliance and sound projection.

The 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 Savarez has 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. Savarez actually do master these various parameters.

Characteristics - Technology :

• 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 !
• 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.

Acoustics 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
