Argentine strings are the original Gypsy jazz string used by Django Reinhardt and nearly every other Gypsy jazz guitarist.

Medium gauge - .011 .015 .023 .029 .037 .046

Ball end

Round core

Silver plated copper

Red silk winding

Manufactured by Savarez in France.

Medium gauge Argentine strings usually sound best on long scale Selmer style guitars (670mm or longer) with lower action or short scale guitars (640mm).

Most Selmer style tailpieces will take both loop end or ball end strings. There is no difference in sound or playability between the two.

smart purchase

you will not find better tone or clarity from any other brand of string. i use 1610 mf's on my petite bouche set at 3 mm. silver wrapped copper core strings wear out quickly. such is the nature of the breed. micheal offers the best $ deal going on the best strings available. also, once you understand the string idiosyncrasies of your guitar, you might want to lay in a supply of single strings, but that's a whole 'nother review. wonky fiedler, les singes volants

Argentines

I sometimes run across a dead wound string - usually the A string. I've tried others but the sound is impossible to get with any other string. They're sweet when played soft and you can't overdrive them. Great dynamic range. I only get about 6 to 8 hours a set of hard rhythm with them, but that's the price you pay...
