1 2 handmade in germany Foreword Welcome to our new catalogue. Hannabach, a family business, is well known for it´s wide range of high quality strings for the classical guitar family. Over the years our strings have received an excellent reputation among musicians. This reputation has been forged, right from the very start and continues right up to the present day, by always adhering to the following principles 1. Nothing is more important than the sound. 2. Only the best quality strings bring out the creative development of the musician and the sound of the instrument. 3. Expert handwork plus the intuition of experienced workers make a noticable difference in playability, durability, tunability and intonation. We have never gone down the route of trying to produce the cheapest strings, rather creating great sounds that accompany guitarists on their musical journey. Whatever the genre. Anyone can find the string that best suits both their instrument and their musical imagination. We have gone to considerable lengths to carefully combine treble and bass strings into sets that blend perfectly together. But if you want to go even further, you can achieve an even more personalized tone through the abundance of the variety of sounds and combinations available. The search for perfection is not always easy, but well worth the effort, if the end result is your ideal string combination. We are proud to help you because nothing pleases us more than knowing every chord and every note produced by our strings gives your guitar that perfect sound. This is our passion and what that drives us. Greetings from Egglkofen, Upper Bavaria 3 Encoding Our proven colour profile runs like a „golden“ thread through our entire packaging concept.

More information can be found on www.hannabach.com for scale 65 cm/25.5“ L o c at i o n Since 1946 we have been manufacturing strings for beginners and professional guitarists alike in our facility in Egglkofen, Upper Bavaria, Germany. The company however was founded in 1869 in the town former named Schönbach – today a part of the Czech Republic. To this day our strings are still handwound on special, self-designed machines. A three-level control ensures the well-known Hannabach quality. 1. Measuring of the mulifilament core before spinning 2. Visual inspection after spinning 3. Individual control before packing Thus we achieve the constant high quality which our customers throughout the world require, appreciate and expect of Hannabach. Numerous experiments with different material combinations are researched before a new string goes into production. We are constantly testing new materials, wires, alloys and combinations resulting in complete versatility and flexibilty throughout the range and offering numerous different strings for special variations of the classical guitar (shortscale, 8- and 10- string instruments, bass, octave, fifth, fourths, terz guitars, ...). This is also true for custom orders: As we only produce by hand, it is possible to make strings according to our customer´s own individual requirements. Please contact us for any special requests. For this service we will require the following information: 1. string tone (if possible with written position in the sheet music) 2. exact scale length (free-vibrating length between the bridge and saddle) 3. Total length of the string 4. desired string tension in kg 5 s e r i e s 8 15 » S i lv e r-S p e c i a l« The Series 815 is the basis for our legendary reputation and our best-selling string too - for good reason.

Through the smaller body and shorter neck Student guitars have a significantly shorter scale length. If you were to cut a full-size 4/4 guitar string, the string tension would be reduced significantly, on a ¾ instrument at least 15 % too low tension (Taylor’s formula). The results are string rattling on the fretboard, nasal sound, “fifths uncleanness” and “sloppy” playability. Therefore, you should only use our specially designed and manufactured strings on children guitars. The Hannabach 890 series offers the perfectly matched strings for guitars in sizes of 1/8 (Scale 44-48cm), 1/4 (Scale 49-52cm), 1/2 (Scale 53-56cm), 3/4 (Scale 57-61cm) und 7/8 (Scale 62-64cm). Available in Medium Tension as a complete set with plain or wound G3-string and as single strings. 24 Hannabach strings are characterized by their brilliance, precision and wonderful variety of sounds. Johannes Tonio Kreusch series »Carbon« Ideal treble strings for guitar players who prefer the characteristic, brighter sound of carbon strings. Carbon has a significantly higher density than nylon, tuned to the same pitch the strings can be thinner and thus more “alive” and responsive. The bending stiffness of the string decreases, the string vibrates more easily, the number of harmonics increases, making the sound more brilliant. For one, the sound may seem unusual. For others, our carbon string could mean the end of their search for the perfect sound. Available in Medium High Tension treble set as well as single strings. Compatible with all Hannabach bass sets.

Xingye Li s e r i e s 870/ 8 75/ 8 77 »G-3 string wound« Hannabach offers wound G3-strings in different versions with the series 870, 875 and 877. Many guitar-players prefer a brighter-sounding G-string. If you are looking for the perfect “transitional string“ between bass and treble, then you can find it here. In the manufacture of strings it is important to develop a sonically perfect fit of thickness and tensile load. These strings can be combined with all sets. Available in five tensions as G3 single string in three materials: silver plated wound, chrome wound and polished, aluminum wound and polished. Aluminum is lighter than silver-plated copper, chromium steel is much harder. A thin, heavy string may sound „wiry“, often more metallic. The core strings are matched to fit the different winding materials. »dimitri lavrentiev« Experiment to see which matches your sound preferences and your guitar best. 27 Made for instruments with scale length 65cm/25.5“.

Over the decades, many guitarists got to know and appreciate our strings. Just as we got to know many musicians and appreciate them. For us the valuable experiences of professional musicians are very important, they put to test our strings permanently on the hardest of all samples: playing under continuous load, in the daily rehearsal or during a concert. Some high profile musicians have been working with us for decades and swear by our strings - but do not want any publicity from us. We respect that. Some we would like to introduce internationally in this catalog. Visit their websites , listen to their musical expertise, buy their CDs and more importantly: go to their concerts whenever the possibility arises. You will experience a musical treat and maybe the opportunity to ask our friends about their experience of using Hannabach strings.
