Elite Quality for Discerning Nylon-string Players
La Bella spared no expense in crafting its hand-wound Elite series classical guitar strings. Subtle material variations across the line deliver a unique blend of crisp highs, shimmering overtones, and full, resonant bass, giving you options tailored to your playing style. Precision gauges and medium tension further elevate the Elite series, making it a top choice among Sweetwater classical guitarists for its balanced feel and exceptional tone. And thanks to MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), La Bella Elite series strings stay fresh and performance ready — whether you’re stepping onstage for a recital or fine-tuning your next piece.
La Bella: centuries of expertise in each set of strings
La Bella strings are the top choice for musicians ranging from world-famous artists such as Willie Nelson, Bryan Adams, and Ron Carter to everyday players like many of us here at Sweetwater. The company’s heritage reaches back to the Mari family of Salle, Italy, in the 17th century, and they became famous throughout Europe, even supplying violin strings to Amati and Stradivari. In the early 20th century, brothers Emilio and Olinto Mari moved the string operation to New York, founding the modern La Bella company. Today, La Bella strings are considered among the finest in the world, and we think you'll agree when you hear what they can do for your favorite instrument.
