The Thomastik-Infeld DTKN16 Classic S is an individual replacement high E (1st) string engineered specifically for classical and nylon-string guitars. Handcrafted in Vienna, this specialised string features a high-grade nylon filament core wound with a micro-thin flat tape winding, bringing the crisp attack, enhanced sustain, and acoustic clarity of steel strings to classical instruments without compromising safety or tone.

Engineered to deliver supple, low playing tension that protects traditional classical fan bracing, tie-block bridges, and neck joints, the DTKN16 provides an ultra-smooth tactile feel with zero harshness. Australian classical and fingerstyle guitarists rely on genuine Thomastik-Infeld replacement strings to maintain flawless intonation, balanced string-to-string projection, and reliable tuning stability.
