Trebles: normal tension nylonBasses: low tension, silver-plated copper over nylon multifilament. The Augustine Black Basses are Augustine's lightest copper wound strings. This set has black label basses (not in colour) and Classic Trebles - a light gauge treble string. These are the original Augustine guitar strings, an intrinsic part of the classical guitar evolution this century. Albert Augustine, an instrument maker, found himself pressured by none other than Andres Segovia to manufacture and sell nylon guitar strings. He did so, insuring the rise of a new generation of concert players and lending his own part to the cultivation and completion of the famous Segovia Sound. **PLEASE NOTE** These strings are not black in colour
