I just bought a classical guitar...any string reccomendations?

[rz]

I know nylon strings take a lot longer to stretch and thus stay in tune vice steel string. And most classical guitars have a slot head, which is a pain to change strings on. I recently bought a steel string that has a slot head (Taylor 712ce 12-fret). I do NOT look forward to doing string changes on it.

Make sure to ascertain if your guitar uses tie-end or ball-end strings.

Another vote for EJ45s. Nylon strings will stretch as well as slip some when first put on. You can hold onto the neck and gently pull the string away from it, retune and repeat a few times to resolve this. You might have to do it over the course of several days before they settle in. It also helps to make sure the strings are properly put on when you change them to limit the amount of slipping.

Here's a good how to video:

EJ45s I guess.

This seems like a good site.

That's a very good place, but I would buy just one set from Amazon to start with. There are lots of variations you may want to make next time in tension. Also, you won't be paying a shipping charge.
