Alba GB - Classical Guitar Carbon Strings - Normal Tension + Black Beads Bundle

Alba GB Classical Guitar Carbon Strings  – Normal Tension + Black Guitar Beads

Improved sustain. Warmer tone. Longer life. Designed to work as one system.

This Alba GB bundle combines normal tension carbon classical guitar strings with a set of black guitar beads—two components developed to work together. When used as a system, they improve multiple aspects of performance, including sustain, tone, tuning stability, string life, and volume.

The strings include clear carbon trebles and twisted-core wound basses. Carbon trebles respond faster and deliver a brighter, more focused sound than nylon. Their consistent tension and clean finish support clear note separation and stable pitch across the range.

The basses use a pre-twisted core before winding. This strengthens the internal structure of the string and gives the winding a more secure hold. It improves tonal clarity in the lower register while keeping the feel balanced and predictable. The result is a set of strings that performs consistently under both light and firm right-hand pressure.

The normal tension profile supports control and comfort. It allows for fluid phrasing and reliable attack without adding unwanted stiffness. Left-hand shifts remain smooth, and tuning holds steady during extended play.

Where this bundle stands out is in what happens when the strings and beads are used together. The black guitar beads replace standard string tie bridge knots and change the way each string connects to the bridge. This improves energy transfer, reduces movement at the contact point, and brings measurable benefits in tone and durability.

Sustain increases because of reduced friction and cleaner contact between the string and the guitar’s top. Vibrations carry more efficiently, and notes last longer. This is most noticeable on the basses, but the effect is present across the full range.

Tonal warmth improves as energy is transferred more evenly into the instrument. The system reduces interference from unstable anchoring, giving the guitar a more open and balanced sound—particularly in the lower and mid frequencies.

Volume increases due to better string-to-body transmission. The cleaner connection between string and soundboard allows for stronger projection without changing the player’s technique or setup. More of the string’s energy reaches the top, resulting in a fuller sound.

Tuning stability improves at the bridge. Traditional knots can shift slightly under pressure or temperature changes. With the bead system, the anchor point remains firm. Pitch holds more consistently, both immediately after installation and during long playing sessions.

String life is extended through reduced bending and friction at the tie block. When knots are removed from the equation, the strings experience less wear at the most fragile point. This means fewer breakages and more consistent tone over time.

The setup is suitable for all nylon string instruments, including classical guitars, flamenco guitars, crossover guitars, carbon fiber guitars, and electric nylon string guitars with piezo pickups. It works with standard bridges and does not require tools or modification.

Installation is fast. The beads eliminate the need for multiple tie-block wraps and speed up the restringing process. The strings settle quickly and reach stable tuning with fewer adjustments.

This bundle has been tested across different instruments and is designed for repeatable results in everyday use. There are no coatings, no artificial surface treatments, and no cosmetic features. Every component has a defined function: improve tone, increase life, and reduce setup time.

If you’re currently using D’Addario Pro Arte Carbon, Savarez Carbon Strings, or Hannabach Carbon Strings, this set provides a practical alternative with matched components and clear performance advantages.

Use this normal tension bundle for a more efficient and refined classical guitar string setup. For players who prefer the hard tension set of carbon strings, it will be available separately.
