Due to their smaller body, student guitars have a shorter neck and a significantly shorter scale length. In order to do justice to their sound and playing feel, it is necessary to use specially developed and manufactured strings for them. Shortening a string for 4/4 guitar by cutting it off would significantly reduce the string tension. It would have at least 15 % too little tension on a 3/4 instrument (Taylor formula). The result would be string rattling on the fingerboard, a nasal sound, "fifth impurity" and poor playability. Therefore, only specially developed and manufactured strings should be used on children's guitars. With the 890 series Hannabach offers the perfectly tuned strings for short scale guitars in the sizes 1/8 (scale 44-48 cm), 1/4 (scale 49-52 cm), 1/2 (scale 53-56 cm), 3/4 (scale 57-61 cm) and 7/8 (scale 62-64cm). Available as a complete set with plain and wound G-strings as well as single strings in medium tension (MT). The set for 1/8 size is also very suitable for the use of standard E-tuning on guitaleles
