Newly formulated Knobloch Active Q.Z. basses with the new generation Nylon Q.Z. trebles.

This is a premium string and is fast becoming the cult string amongst guitarists looking for the extra edge in their playing.

Maintains balanced volume with a rich, round and robust sound.

On their website Knobloch say the aim is to deliver “Perfect intonation, well-balanced with a warm full sound, Knobloch Strings are acclaimed by today’s leading guitarists, both nationally and internationally”.

Lofty aims? You be the judge.

I was lucky given a couple of sets of Knobloch by Jacob Cordover last year when he recorded at Guitarsonline. I gave them out to our test panel to test and the feedback was uniformly enthusiastic.

These strings are just hard to get! But finally - we have some for you to play with!

Evaluation and which guitars it works well with:

This nylon version is versatile, resonant, and lyrical.

The Nylon QZ trebles offer a more refined and lyrical sound.

This newest generation of premium nylon has a slightly thinner diameter and produces a warm, sweet sound.

The thinner diameter of the string doesn’t affect the volume, and still offers a rounded tone.

The Nylon QZ have a velvety smoothness and perfect balance and are designed for players aiming for a more elegant and classy sound.
