Andrea De Vitis
"I use D'Addario strings for the brilliant and direct response, for the accuracy of the balance and precision in the intonation, and for the huge variety D'Addario offers to players."
"I found the combination of Pro Arté Carbon G trebles with Pro Arté Nylon Core basses to be extremely balanced for any kind of guitar (traditional models or double top/lattice instruments) because it gives the right tension to the soundboard, but with the necessary softness to create an expressive and rich sound. The 3rd string in carbon gives a bit of clarity to the middle register (which usually suffers a bit especially in polyphonic music) while the 2nd and 1st string in nylon give the player infinite possibilities of sound modulation and all the nuances for a cantabile melody."
