Detail 01
Low tension
Less pull on the neck and easier fretting. Trades away some volume and can buzz if your action is low.

Savarez520B White Card Rectified Nylons Traditional Basses Low Tension Nylon Guitar String Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A low-tension nylon set with rectified trebles and traditional wound basses. For classical players who want an easier left hand and a mellow top end.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classical guitars where standard tension feels stiff to fret
- Players with hand fatigue or those returning after a layoff
- Older or lightly built instruments you don't want under high tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing maximum volume and projection
- Steel-string, flamenco-forward, or heavy-attack players
- Guitars with low action that will buzz on looser strings
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
Rectified trebles
Ground to a precise diameter after extrusion. More consistent intonation and a slightly softer, less glassy tone than clear nylon.
Detail 03
Traditional basses
Wound bass strings with a conventional voice — warm and round rather than bright and modern.
Detail 04
Full set
All six strings, so you're not mixing gauges across brands.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits standard classical guitars with a tie-block bridge. Not for steel-string or ukulele.
- 02Nylon takes several days of stretching before tuning settles.
- 03Dropping to low tension may need an action or truss adjustment on some guitars.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit my classical guitar?
Yes, if it's a standard nylon-string classical with a tie-block bridge. They are not for steel-string acoustics.
02What does low tension actually feel like?
Softer under the fingers and easier to press down, especially on barre chords. The trade-off is less volume and projection.
03How long do nylon strings last?
The wound basses go dull first, usually within a few months of regular playing. Trebles last longer but lose intonation accuracy over time.
04Why do these keep going flat?
Nylon stretches. New sets need repeated retuning for the first several days before they hold pitch.
