I remember recently reading an interview with a classical guitar player who disliked the squeaks captured during recording. He kept a bowl of water and small towel nearby. Dip the fingers briefly, then dry them, then hit record. There is enough softening of the skin to lessen squeaks.

Miss steak is when I eat chicken-I miss the steak!
Seems like the classical guitars wouldn't squeak too much anyhow, nylon strings seem a lot less prone to it.

Ah, but remember that there are wound strings on a classical guitar too. Only two or sometimes three of the strings are smooth nylon.

I have LP's of Segovia and sundry Flamenco guitarists dating as early as the late 50's, and, I tell you, squeaks are heard.

Aloha,

Does anyone have any experience with the the D'Addario phosphor bronze wound flat tops? The strings are supposedly polished after winding to yield a string less prone to string noise.
