Inspiro™

Strings for Classical Guitar
Uniquely Superior

Most bass strings for the classical guitar use multifilament nylon for their core material. Oasis® thought that wasn’t good enough, so we went to work and created Inspiro™ Classical Guitar Bass Strings.

Inspiro™ basses are crafted with a unique non-nylon, proprietary multifilament core (similar to D’Addario’s Dynacore), and are expertly wrapped with a silverplated copper wire. As a result, Inspiro™ bass strings sound extremely clear, have powerful projection, exhibit great sustain, and they stabilize quickly to the desired pitch with minimum stretching. Inspiro™ basses are also highly durable and will last longer than nylon core bass strings.

We at Oasis® invested 8 years developing Inspiro™ bass strings. These are the best classical guitar bass strings you will ever play. Give them a try and see for yourself.

IS-9000 combines normal tension Inspiro bass strings with GPX normal tension fluorocarbon treble strings.

GPX+™ Carbon Treble Classical Guitar Strings
$6.95 – $12.95

Being a classical guitar player, I prefer powerful, punchy treble strings. I never could find a set of nylon trebles that met this criterion. A second problem I found with nylon trebles is the “tubby” sounding 3rd string. Instead of projecting a powerful clear sound, I just hear a dull or muffled sounding string. Fluorocarbon (carbon treble) monofilament solves both of these problems. We actually use two types of fluorocarbon. The 1st string is specially made from a fluorocarbon monofilament designed to eliminate string shredding, which is sometimes associated with fluorocarbon 1st strings. The 2nd and 3rd strings are made from a different fluorocarbon monofilament to enhance their particular tonal properties. Where the GPX+™ has really separated itself from the competition is the tone and sustain. One comment we hear about other fluorocarbon classical guitar strings is that they sound brittle or thin. Not so with our GPX+™ carbon treble strings. Most players feel that they have the beautiful tonal properties of nylon with the power and punch of fluorocarbon.
GPX+™ carbon treble strings come in two tensions: normal and high. They also are available in a full high tension set paired with our high tension Sostenuto™ classical guitar bass strings.
GPX™ Classical Guitar Strings For most guitars, GPX+™ strings produce beautiful tone with excellent sustain.

James Piorkowski**, SUNY professor and former member of the world renowned Buffalo Guitar Quartet, put it this way: “These new carbon strings by Oasis are simply wonderful! With warm tone color and plenty of sustain, my guitar is now free to sing sweetly. Thankfully, my search for the optimum string is over. Bravo, Oasis!”

**James Piorkowski is a professor at the Fredonia School of Music, State University of New York, serving as the head of the guitar program since 1983. In 2006, he received both the President’s Award for Excellence and the Robert W. Kasling Award for Scholarly and Creative Excellence. He has toured extensively and was an 18- year member of the world-renowned Buffalo Guitar Quartet, which disbanded in 2000. Jim has a world of experience and, most importantly, he is a great guy, who served as a sounding board (pun intended) for the development of our GPX+™ Carbon Trebles and Sostenuto™ classical guitar bass strings.

“I’ve tried virtually every brand of carbon string on the market. In my experience, most carbon strings have a tendency to become overly bright, thin, and somewhat harsh in tone very quickly. Oasis strings, however, retain a mellow quality and roundness of sound while delivering the same kind of power, projection, and sustain that guitarists look for in carbons. For me there is no substitute when it comes to carbon strings.”

Oasis® Flex-Core™ Electric Bass Guitar Strings
$23.95 – $29.95

Most bass strings are made in a batch process. Electric bass strings have 2-3 successive wraps of stainless steel or nickel steel wire over a steel core. Most manufacturers make a production run of the first wrap before transferring the batch to another machine for the second wrap and so on. When making a string, the core wire is placed in the string winder and then pulled to a particular tension. Then the wire winding is applied. After winding, the string core tension is released and the string drops into the collection tray. This process is repeated for the 2nd and 3rd wraps. The repeated drawing tension and releasing tension creates internal stresses which reduce the strings flexibility and smoothness. Unlike the other electric bass strings, Oasis^® electric bass strings are made using a continuous winding process, allowing the application of multiple wraps with different wrap wires without changing machines. The core tension never changes during the winding process until the string winding is completely finished. The result is that the Oasis® Flex-Core electric bass guitar strings are the smoothest, most supple bass strings made in the United States. They are available in 4 or 5 string sets in either nickel steel or stainless steel sets (45-65-85-105 and 125 gauge)
These round-wound, medium-light gauge strings are often compared to the smoothness of Thomastik-Infeld strings with a slightly brighter tone. Unlike this expensive European brand, Oasis^® brings you these superior strings at a popular price.
