Augustine Classical Guitar Strings

Augustine were the first modern classical string and still a favoured choice. The tension and tone of Augustine trebles depends on the string type, Classics are a light tension and are traditional nylon, Regals are a heavy tension and made of a higher quality polymer. The basses are warm sounding copper wound and are common to both, with Red basses being lighter in tension than Blue. This system allows you to choose the combination that is right for your instrument, from Classic Red to Regal Blue.

This Gold Label set is made with Classic Nylon trebles and Gold plated basses.These strings whilst not specifically designed for flamenco are the preferred choice of strings for many flamenco players. Augustine strings are designed to give you endless possibilities that will best suit your particular needs.

These are the original Augustine guitar strings, an intrinsic part of the classical guitar evolution this century. Albert Augustine, an instrument maker, found himself pressured by none other than Andres Segovia to manufacture and sell nylon guitar strings. He did so,insuring the rise of a new generation of concert players and lending his own part to the cultivation and completion of the famous Segovia Sound.

COMBINED SHIPPING:

If you are ordering from more than one of our listings, note that we can offer you reduced combined shipping ONLY if you use 'Buy it now' on all items then request a total from seller BEFORE making payment. You can find the REQUEST TOTAL FROM SELLER button at the top of your basket. We will then send you a combined shipping eBay invoice to pay. This is NOT possible if you have already paid for any of the items you are ordering.

ITALY, RUSSIA AND OTHER PROBLEM DESTINATIONS

Customers in Italy (and other problem destinations) please note that due to the high number of orders that vanish and never arrive whilst in the hands of the various postal services we will NOT send orders over £25 in total value (including postage cost) to problem destinations using standard untracked airmail. If your items total more than £25.00 please arrange to pay for tracked and signed shipping so that your order may be shipped safely and securely. If the tracked shipping option is not offered in the listing, please use the following listing to pay the extra cost of this.

Tracked & Signed supplemental charge to Italy, Russia and other problem destinations.

Please also note that orders sent to Italy and Russia may take MUCH longer than eBay's estimate to be delivered and, whilst some orders do arrive within a week or two, many orders sent to these countries are not delivered for three or perhaps even four weeks! This is entirely outside our control, as we ship within one working day and once your order is in the hands of your country's Postal service, there is nothing we can do to get it to you any faster.

Please DO NOT send messages with the title "Item not received" as these open complaint cases against us and damage our seller rating! Instead please use the general "Other" heading to ask about your delivery if several weeks have passed.

Lastly, please note that when eBay asks you "Did the item arrive on or before" their estimated delivery date, it also damages our seller rating if you answer "No", so bear in mind that we always ship within two working days, so if you answer "No" because your local postal service (especially in Italy!) has taken weeks to deliver, you are punishing us, not them!

Thank you all for your kind consideration of the above and remember that we will always do our very best to sort out any problems or questions you may have related to your order if you contact us using the "Contact Seller" and (if the choice is given) "Other" ask a question of seller options.
