The 2001 series is quickly becoming the most popular classical guitar string in the world. Offered in a variety of tensions for both classical and flamenco players, La Bella 2001 series strings meet the demands of today's most professional guitarists. The 2001 series is the product of intense research and development . Company president Richard Mari Cocco Jr. developed a new synthetic monofilament nylon material called NYLON 202.
NYLON 202 offer superior sensitivity to the touch. These trebles produce a greater aural transparency, and are capable of extraordinary sound projection. The design for the bass strings equals the achievements of the NYLON 202 trebles. The construction improved the ratio of wire exterior wound wrapping to the nylon filament core. This results in a clearer, more sustaining tone. The 2001 series unique string design surpasses all other classical guitar sets with their exceptional memory for pitch and consistent sound production.
