- Comparisons of Savarez Cristal/Corum (500CJ) and D'Addario EJ46 on my Cordoba C7 guitar.
I tested each set two days after stringing the guitar using the onboard mic on my DSLR, which is actually a pretty good mic.
By far the best video showing the diffrence between those strings!! Congrat!
Wow, thanks...so glad that you enjoyed the video!
Savarez 500CJ 👍
Thanks for this comparison. I use both these strings. The EJ46's on my spruce top classical and the 500CJ's on my cedar top classical. I find they are the perfect balance with the different soundboards. Oh and THANK YOU for also actually playing classical pieces for this demonstration and not some overly used blues riffs that a few seem to do. lol
D'Addario sounds more balanced and less twangy to me. Good demo!
Both strings are excellent option for guitar, but in my opinion the Savarez strings sound more brilliant. Thanks for upload this video!
You probably mean "brighter" yes, to me too and I don't like that, so I'd probably choose D'addario for me out of those two.
Agree
Yes, Savarez absolutely.
Thank you for this video. I have been looking for some comparison of those 2 types specifically and you're the first one to post anything. I wish you had included your opinion but I see it in the comments. I'm sure many viewers will also add their feed back which will be great. I havea cedarwood cordoba c7 cd as well, and I also have the c5 cd thin profile in black. I'm a 53 years old and started playing a year ago and I still suck at it, but I enjoy every second of it that my wife is probably getting jealous or she's loving it since it gets me off her back :)
Play the classical guitar folks.. It heals our souls.
Thanks again for the good video.
Thanks! Yes, I really don't have a strong opinion towards one or the other. I've always liked the Cristal Corum strings, but really enjoyed switching to the EJ46 set for a change. I like alternating between the two, and I also want to add the Hannabach 815 Silver Special strings to the mix. I tried them once and loved them, so that might be my next comparison video.
Buen video y sin palabras
You've done great job
More string comparisons please!
I like 500cj.
500cj sounds is more than sense of deep space and powerful to me .
Thank, good playing and video.
Savarez strings are brighter and clearer but I have always preferred more warm and mellow tone, especially with classical songs and that's why I love the daddario pro arte
Savares definitely sounds better, not dull like the D’Addario… awesome vid😎
Fantastic video. Sound is subjective. I was researching and leaning towards the Savarez until I watch youur side by side video. I found 1:52 to be the best test for bass, highs, fingerstyle and strum. 👍
Thanks!!!
We have contributors telling us why they like their preferred brand of strings. I wonder how they would go in a blind listening, rather than one where the strings are labelled?
D’Addario have so much more presence and more of a full sound. I use the Composites and the Carbon Core which are amazing. I also use Hard Tension which gives it even more presence and bite.
Good video. Thanks! My Córdoba has Savarez strings from store, and they sound
bright and loud but a little “metallic” in my opinion. I can see that here too, but there rest, both sound great and maybe similar. (My amateur’s opinión) .
They lose the metallic edge quickly and Warm right up
Yes they do but D’Addario a superior string in every way. Especially the Composites and Carbon Core.
Greetings, I like the 500CJ better, the sound is stronger and brighter, but I would like to know if you have used or heard of the Savarez Alliance 540J or Savarez Alliance Corum 500AJ Thank you.
I have salvarez strings today broke one and can i buy a diferent brand for and e string or is it gonna sound completly diffrent i havent changed much strings only been using salvarez for 7 years but now i want to switch things up
Both sets sound specific. Do you know of a set for all around use. I mean, both dark and bright?
Can you do same savarez 500cj but compare with newer Daddario pro arte composite core EJ46C
I like the way you tape the string brand to your guitar so it's clear for us to discern what we are hearing. Thanks!
Right! Simple but clever )
Savarez forever
Do you have a recommendation which strings do less squeaky noises when playing?
Ive got the pro arte45 with lightly polished basses and they still do unwanted noises.
I'd suggest savarez high tension for spanish guitars
0:55 ayyyyy i only know like 2 scale patterns and thats one of them. yuge.
Thank you for the video. Can you tell me if you feel a difference in string tension between the two sets?
Thanks...I didn't notice any huge differences in tension between the two sets as a whole. I've recently been playing a set of "medium" tension Hanabach 815 Silver Specials and look forward to comparing these, as well. The medium Hannabach's feel like they are a bit higher tension than the EJ46 and CJ500. They sound amazing, too, although they are also more expensive and maybe a tiny bit harder to play.
@@avlmountains7842 Thank you for your reaction. I'm looking forward to that comparison as well.
Great video! Can I ask which one do you prefer?
Thanks!...I really like both of them. I can see why Cordoba uses the Cristal Corums on their new guitars...They are loud and lively. But the EJ46's are awesome, too, and when I switch to the EJ46's it seems that I like them better, until I switch back to the Savarez. LOL. They both seem similar yet different enough to be a nice change without feeling that you're losing anything.
To my ear, the Savarez Cristal Corum might seem punchier and brighter, with the EJ46 sounding more round or slightly darker.
@@avlmountains7842 Im planning on switching from savarez corum 500cj to ej46. But now, i think im gonna keep my corum 500cj. Thank you for this man, this saved me a couple of bucks 😆
I noticed you are using hard tension strings on this classical guitar. Do you prefer them over normal tension and if so can you tell me why?
They are louder.
Savarez have more sound (higher volume) and a great diferrence in trebles... much more brilliant and powerfull. The guitar sounds with more treble and sound, the 2 aspects that are the most important for me. D'Addario have more equilibrant sound, that not remark anything. Thank you for the video
Some guitars sound better with a certain brand, so it’s subjective. Speaking just for myself, I’ve never thought D’addario strings were anything special.
Which of those are better in tune going up to the 12th fret? I have Savarez now and the g string is not really in tune around that fret. I have cutaway guitar and I use often also 14th fret.
It's possible to compensate the saddle to correct those things. The only downside is that it's locked in to that exact set of strings, so just be sure that you really like them before you go ahead.
Who the best ?
Really interesting comparison thank you. Of course subjective because they can vary between instruments, but on your guitar the Savarez seemed brighter, more defined, yet still warm.
Gracias,
2:10 song ?
I really like the EJ44, but I get worried about the tension..
You should be worried only when you don't like something.
D'Addario!
I've compared these two strings. For me I love Savarez because of the clear sound. EJ46 3rd nylon is not working good to me
I've tried EJ45 and i had the 3'd nylon problem as well.
Been playing D'Addario EJ46 strings for years , gets dull sounding after a month or so , gonna try the new Savarez Cristal/Corum 500CJ I think it's more balanced sounding strings.
Are you sure ? Actually i want buy new string and i dont know what Kind of Brand is good .
They are both great but savarez bass strings die pretty quickly on a flamenco guitar
I totally agree.
which one is more durable?
I'm guessing they are about the same.
I found Savarez die lot faster.
No way! Corum basses by savarez are composite. You must compare to the same kind of strings by D'addario.
Savarez!
Savearez sounds great BUT the difference to me is the feel on my fingers
Savarez win, so beautiful sounds clear, clean, precise, definite, nice and super natural, the best than Carbon, Carburo, Titanium, Bronze or other shits. It's depend of the instrument, guitarplayer and his technique. Like.
Name ? 2:48 🫡🙏
Savarez :)
Beyond the strings that Cordoba C7 guitar has a very nice soft warm tone to it. Both strings sounded good on it because the guitar was good anyway.
Owesem
savarez is by far superior
Eu achei a Daddario Ej46 Melhor.
The Savarez strings sound more brilliant but very short lifespan, quick to spoil.
savarez more good i think
Savarez wear though the basses at the 7th fret before they are stretched out. Who cares what they sound like.
daddario ej46 is a little hard than savarez...they have more tension and last a lot!!!
I use SAVAREZ red card
Savarez sounded very balanced. Almost too balanced. As if a robot was playing...
Sure Ernie Ball strings forever
Savarez iş better
D'Addario are brighter
Savarez sounds thin, no character.
