Pyramid Nylon Favorit – Medium Tension (Classical Guitar Strings)
D'Bara Arruda 17.08.2025
This is my first time purchasing this set of strings from Pyramid, after seeing a positive recommendation from a classical guitarist on YouTube. I decided to try them due to the brand’s tradition and the promise of medium tension.

Initial impressions:
The strings take a bit longer than expected to stabilize their tuning during the first hours of use (something common with nylon, but here I found it slightly more noticeable).

The tone is balanced and smooth, with clear projection in the trebles and a satisfying body in the bass.
The dynamic response is consistent, with no loss of clarity on stronger attacks.
Comfortable under the fingers, without excessive stiffness — which makes it easier to play fast passages and perform legato smoothly.
Final thoughts:
As I am still in the adaptation phase, I don’t want to be unfair in my initial judgment. However, so far I find these strings to be of very good quality, especially suitable for both classical and popular repertoire where clarity and musicality are equally important.
I recommend them for those looking for nylon strings with a good price-performance ratio and a traditional classical character, while keeping in mind that they may take a bit more time to settle into stable tuning.

Cheap, decent strings but not the best sound and VERY low tension.
TCSMD 17.10.2021
I decided to test these strings because of the low price and also because I've been happy with other Pyramid products in the past. I didn't expect much at this price but I wanted to give them a fair chance.

The first problem was the length of the A and D-strings. They weren't too short but it was VERY close. You really need to make sure you don't waste too much string at the bridge. You could easily run out of string length at the tuning pegs. Seriously, how much can it cost to make the A and D-strings just 2-3 cm longer? I tested two sets and both were the same: The A and D-strings were just barely long enough.

The tuning stability was fine once the strings had settled. The sound was ok but with a noticeable lack of clarity compared to the strings I normally use (which to be fair cost 4 times as much). I would consider these strings more than adequate for practise but I wouldn't use them for recordings or concerts.

The main problem for me was the tension though. These strings have much too low tension for my taste. I guess I was fooled by the fact that Pyramid call them "medium" tension. I guess I should have checked the actual tension figures. These strings are more like ultra low tension from most other brands (except possibly D'Addario who also like to call their low tension strings "normal" and "hard"...).

If you like low tension strings and want something cheap for practise you will probably be very happy with these strings.

If you want the best possible sound or like strings that most manufacturers would refer to as "medium" tension... keep searching, these strings are not for you.

Does it's job well!

I had these sent to me for free by Thomann after a problem with my new classical Fender arriving with rusty strings.

These Fender strings sound very good, they do their job. They sound very clear and so far had no issues. All I'm sure about is they sound great on a Classical Fender!
I've heard clearer strings before and It's far from the greatest, but for this price the quality you get is insane.

I like these strings, as they are cheap and good: they are better than cheap models on the big brand names. And they endure more, now I see (after 1 year).

Quick and easy cheap set but very good value.
Anonymous 15.09.2016
I managed to use this set for my classic guitar for a very long time no matter I bought it very cheap here and for that reasons I was having some doubts about the quality. Normally one would change the strings set let say monthly but at times, when you're playing occasionally, don't change it so frequently ;-).
For that reason, no matter the whole set sits for long mounted on my guitar, their sound was not getting dull neither the metal covered strings rusted.

I may say you can even buy a bunch of them all thogether, always resulting in a cheap price, to allow to change them frequently for almost no money and have a very good sound and easy smooth strings to play with.
All in all I recommend those for sure. Cheers.
