D'Addario EJ34 Folk Nylon Ball End Guitar Strings
The D'Addario EJ34 Folk Nylon String Set is the ideal choice for musicians seeking the soft touch and mellow tone of nylon, combined with the convenience of a ball-end design for easy installation on guitars typically set up for steel strings (like many folk and acoustic guitars). This unique set blends classic 80/20 Bronze wound basses with distinct Black Nylon trebles to produce a warm, rich tone with excellent projection and clarity.
Key Performance Features
Folk Nylon Construction: This set is specifically designed for folk and classical guitars that may not have traditional tie-blocks. The ball-end feature allows for quick and secure installation on guitars designed for steel strings, providing a fast and easy conversion to nylon tone.
80/20 Bronze Wound Basses: The wound strings (D, A, E) use 80/20 Bronze, an alloy of 80% copper and 20% zinc, which delivers a bright, ringing tone. This provides the bass notes with definition and projection, balancing the softness of the nylon trebles.
Black Nylon Trebles: The plain strings (E, B, G) are made from colored black nylon. Black nylon is known for producing a slightly warmer, mellower sound than clear nylon, emphasizing the traditional, earthy tone characteristic of folk music.
Normal Tension Gauges: This Normal Tension set offers comfortable playability and is D'Addario's best-selling tension for this set, balancing rich tone and dynamic projection.
