Guitar strings,

[John F]

Pretty obvious that bend angle where the string touches the wood is the problem. You can see all 3 of the visible strings starting to open up. So you or a luthier could file a groove in the bridge block to lessen that sharp bend angle where the string touches the rosewood bridge block. I think the issue will affect any string put in there.

Yes, it's the wood that poses the problem.
Interestingly enough, I don't have much knowledge of classical guitars but I haven't often seen a bridge like that!

As a choice of guitar strings, I always use Savarez! packs a lot of punch!

That sharp dive into the wood is begging to chew up the winding on the string. There is to much tension on a nylon string to survive that.

Yes definitely a sharp edge on a soft string material, I’ll look closer when I restring it,,again

Agree..

I think the right touch up would be very beneficial knowing what’s happening. I’m looking into prospective luthiers

I’ve been reading about them will try a set after the ones coming get a chance to perform

Thanks

Strings update, I installed new string on the above mentioned guitar and did something different this time, I did not stretch them, they have last for a long time, so it could be the subtle tug given, if stretching similar to other strings is way to much for this type of strings. So in short they were installed, and tuned up higher and then relaxed to standard tuning, I’m really happy this seems to solve the issue,…
