The Savarez T50J Tomatito is a high tension flamenco set developed with the flamenco guitarist Tomatito. It combines two New Cristal clear nylon trebles on the E and B with an Alliance KF composite (carbon) third, over silver-plated basses wound on a multifilament core. The nylon top strings keep the warmth and snap flamenco players want for rasgueado, the carbon G gives clarity and quick response for picado, and the basses have the bite and fast decay of a proper flamenco string. High tension suits concert playing and guitars with very low action.
Savarez has made strings in Lyon, France, since 1770 and pioneered the fluorocarbon treble with its Alliance line; its sets are color-coded by card: red for normal tension, blue for high, yellow for extra high. The T50R is the normal tension version.
Two NEW CRISTAL clear nylon trebles (E-1,B-2), ALLIANCE KF G-3 string, and silver plated basses wound on a new multifilament core.
SAVAREZ and Tomatito specially crafted these strings to have immediate and precise response, the projection and the particular sounds each flamenco player is looking for.
The velocity is much easier. The flamenco style of playing with its rasgueado,
alzapua, and picado is free and secure. The strings benefit from new materials and treatments, and state of the art technologies which insure their high quality and long lasting performance.
