Question 1

What's the difference between the light, medium, hard and extra hard strings and which of these is better? :D Thanks

The answer is going to be subjective as  what you get in a particular set of strings depends on a number of factors.I have never heard of strings being referred to before as 'hard' or 'extra hard' - heavy, yes. That digresses - the difference will be in the thickness/weight or 'gauge' of the strings and will dictate the tone you get from the guitar. As these are classical, or nylon, strings the typical average player would probably use light or medium gauge. I have never used 'heavy' or 'extra heavy' though these would give a much warmer tone, but harder on the finger tips for an infrequent classical guitar player like me. The tension on the guitar will be greater for the heavier strings and that needs to be considered in terms of what the guitar manufacturer recommends.If you are, like me, an occasional classical guitar player then 'light' or 'medium' should be about right. Ultimately the choice will be down to what sort of tone you want and that is something you may wish/need to experiment with until you are satisfied with the resultant tone.I like D'adddario strings and think they are very good value for money, although recently I have been trying out Elixir strings on two of my steel strung guitars. So far they give excellent tone but need to set that against longevity, particular as they are much more expensive than D'adddario equivalent - and I stick to 'light' with these.

Question 3

Are these the ones to get for a yamaha guitalele if i want to play e to e tuning?

Accepted Answer

A guialele is tuned higher than a standard guitar (E to E). Tuning is much like a ukulele where the top three strings are C, E, A.

Question 4

Hello, as I have already bought it and I received it, but the strings did not have ball-end, so I want to know how could I fixed the string on guitar?

Accepted Answer

Thread each string through the hole on the bridge, one at a time, as you thread it through loop it around and tie a knot as shown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cw84_0KHTI then tighten at the headstock end until tuned.
