Detail 01
Requinto scale
Shorter scale than a standard classical guitar, so the set is sized and tensioned for that higher tuning.

La BellaRQ80 Requinto Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A replacement string set for the requinto, the smaller guitar from the classical family. Buy it if you own one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Requinto players restringing a worn or broken set
- Latin and mariachi guitarists who play requinto parts
- Keeping a cheap spare set in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard classical or full-size nylon guitars — wrong scale
- Steel-string acoustic players; this is the nylon-family sizing
- Anyone needing a specific tension rating, which this set doesn't state
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
Classical-family set
Tie-block ends at the bridge, not ball ends. You knot them on rather than pinning them.
Detail 03
$10.99 price
Basic replacement pricing. Sensible for a working spare or a student instrument rather than a concert set.
Detail 04
RQ80 single-set packaging
One full set per pack. If you break strings often, order more than one at a time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requinto sets are not interchangeable with standard classical sets — check your instrument first
- 02Tie-on bridge ends take practice; new nylon needs repeated stretching to hold pitch
- 03Strings only. No tuner, winder or spares included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a normal classical guitar?
No. They're sized for the requinto's shorter scale and higher tuning. On a full-size classical the tension and pitch won't come out right.
02How do I attach them at the bridge?
They tie on at the bridge like standard classical strings. Loop the end through, wrap it back under itself, and pull the knot tight.
03Why won't they stay in tune?
New nylon stretches. Expect a few days of retuning while it settles. Stretching each string gently by hand shortens that period.
04How many sets should I buy?
One pack is one set. At this price many players keep a second in the case, since a broken string mid-gig ends the night otherwise.
