Useful for certain players and guitars
I bought these as an experiment of sorts, knowing the brand from experience to be very good. I replaced the strings that were on a Harley Benton acoustic I have bought and figured these would be better for legato etc and also as the guitar has no truss rod (like many classical guitars of course) in an act of preservation.
The strings are good but lacked the volume of the stock strings, which were presumably the standard basic classical HB ones.
I would certainly recommend these perhaps for younger players, where often there is less care given to the instrument or potential temperature extremes of being in a gig back being taken here and there. With the lower tension, this negates some of the issues of neck warping/bowing - especially an issue without a truss rod. Also, the strings will stay in concert pitch easier, so less of the constant tuning up of the D string etc is required. Of course, at the lower tension, the D will last far longer too.
I guess also, the tension means that it is feasible to have cautiously open tunings, higher than that of the string's prescribed open note. I am often taking the G up to an A, etc.
The G surprisingly doesn't feel too wobbly.
Also good for a frail, but loved guitar that needs to be treated gently.
Don't expect much volume, but these are definitely useful in certain cases.

Very good strings
The strings are of very good quality as expected from Augustine. Keep in mind that this aren't your standard nylon strings as they are very low tension.

Great strings
If you like low tension strings on your classical guitar these are well worth checking out. The sound they produce is fantastic, I have had no breakage issues. These are half the price of Hannabach low tension strings, and in my opinion nearly as good. For the price you won't find a better low tension string.

For a low tension string its sound is okay.
