Ok, here’s a weird one… A work colleague said that there is some brand of Irish guitar strings that are revered by flamenco players because they don’t break. Anybody ever heard of this?, if so, do you know the specifics, like brand name, and where I might find them in SW Ireland (Clare/Limerick/Kerry/Cork)?
TIA.

I have played flamenco guitar with dancers and singers for 10+ years and I haven’t heard of these strings. The only string that regularly breaks, or nearly breaks before it gets changed, is the D string, which always wears out at the second fret. I would also like to know about any new strings.

On the other hand, he could be completely off base. This guys is, how shall we say, not burdened with a towering intellect.
Office politics being what it is, though, it behooves me to at least make the attempt.
