A Classical Guitar Legacy
Augustine strings hold a special place in classical guitar history. They were among the first commercially produced nylon guitar strings, developed by Albert Augustine following the encouragement of legendary guitarist Andrés Segovia.
Their introduction helped shape the modern classical guitar sound and contributed to the rise of a new generation of concert performers. Today, Augustine continues this tradition with strings designed to offer players a wide range of tonal and playing characteristics.
Why Choose Classic Red?
The Classic Red set features some of the lowest overall tension in the Augustine lineup, offering a comfortable feel under the fingers and a warm, responsive voice. The Red basses use a lighter copper winding, producing a mellow tonal character with excellent balance and sustain.
Whether you're practising at home or performing on stage, Augustine Classic Red provides a smooth playing experience with the warm, musical sound that has made it a favourite for generations.
