D'AddarioEJ27 Nylon Classical Guitar Strings - 3/4 Size
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Nylon classical strings cut for 3/4-size guitars. For students and younger players on a smaller classical instrument that full-length sets do not fit properly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 3/4-size classical guitars used by children or students
- Beginners whose fingertips are still toughening up
- Replacing worn factory strings on a smaller nylon-string guitar
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Full-size classical guitars — the set is cut short
- Steel-string acoustics or electrics, which need steel strings
- Players wanting bright, loud projection over warmth
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nylon trebles
Softer under the fingers than steel, and far gentler on beginner fingertips. Tone is round and warm rather than cutting.
Detail 03
Classical construction
Built for the low tension a classical guitar's braced top expects. Steel strings on that same guitar can damage it.
Detail 04
Tie-on ends, no ball ends
These knot at the bridge rather than pinning in. Expect a few minutes of tying and a learning curve the first time.
Detail 05
Six-string set
Three plain nylon trebles and three wound basses. Covers a full restring in one package.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon stretches for days after installation — expect frequent retuning at first
- 02No ball ends: you tie them at the bridge, which takes practice
- 03Never fit these to a steel-string guitar, or steel strings to a classical
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a full-size classical guitar?
They are cut for 3/4-size instruments. On a full-size guitar the length may not leave enough to wind properly at the tuning posts.
02Why won't my new nylon strings stay in tune?
Nylon stretches significantly when new. Several days of playing and retuning is normal before the set settles at pitch.
03Can I put these on my acoustic guitar?
Only if it is a nylon-string classical. A steel-string acoustic has a different bridge and needs the tension steel strings provide.
04How do I tie nylon strings at the bridge?
Each string threads through the bridge hole and loops back under itself, two or three times for the slippery trebles, then pulls tight.
