D'AddarioEJ32 Folk Nylon Silver/Ball End Black Treble Guitar Strings
Sale
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Ball-end nylon set with black trebles, so it can be strung on guitars without a tie-block bridge. Folk tension for classical or folk nylon guitars.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Nylon guitars with bridge pins or a ball-end bridge
- Players who dislike tying knots at the bridge
- Folk and singer-songwriter playing on a nylon-string
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Steel-string acoustics — nylon needs a guitar built for it
- Classical players wanting maximum projection and traditional tie-on trebles
- Anyone needing high-tension concert volume
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
Black nylon trebles
Black nylon runs warmer and slightly softer than clear nylon, with a mellower attack.
Detail 03
Silver wound basses
Silver-plated wrap on the wound low strings. Standard for nylon sets and warmer than bronze.
Detail 04
Folk nylon set
Aimed at folk-style nylon guitars rather than concert classical, so tension is moderate rather than high.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Never fit nylon strings to a guitar built for steel string tension

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these work on a guitar with bridge pins?
Yes. That's the point of the ball ends, which anchor like steel strings instead of requiring a tie block.
02Can I put these on my steel-string acoustic?
No. Nylon needs a guitar built for it. Steel-string necks and bridges are set up for far higher tension.
03What's the difference between black and clear trebles?
Black nylon sounds warmer with a softer attack. Clear nylon is brighter and more focused.
04How long until they hold tune?
Expect several days of stretching and retuning. That's normal for any nylon set, not a defect.
