Augustine strings
were the first nylon strings ever made. They were
developed by Albert Augustine in New York City in
the late 1930's and early 1940's. At that time in
New York living in the same apartment building was
Andres Segovia. Also reciding in New York at this
time were Miguel Llobet and Vicente Gomez. This was
a magical time in New York. Andres Segovia, being
a close friend of Albert Augustine and his wife Rose
helped develop this new breed of strings which revolutionized
the guitar world and still presently are used by many
of the finest guitarists of the world.
