Unlike the Hannabach low tension ( which with its 40 kg tension is actually medium tension) this knobloch set is truly low tension. It is realy easy to play, barre chords are much better to play. The sound is good, particular string 3-6. Strings 1-3 are a bit dull, lacking dynamics. Despite that still better sounding than the hannabach. So if you want low tension strings, this is the set you want to use in my view.
