AUGUSTINE Classic Black Classical Guitar Strings -
Regular Trebles / Low Tension Basses
These are the original Augustine guitar strings, an intrinsic part of
the classical guitar evolution this century. Albert Augustine, an
instrument maker, found himself pressured by none other than Andres
Segovia to manufacture and sell nylon guitar strings. He did so,insuring
the rise of a new generation of concert players and lending his own part
to the cultivation and completion of the famous Segovia Sound.
The modern iteration of the strings that started it all. The original
'Augustine' string with lower tension and a dulcet tone that evokes the
sound of the old masters, now with consistently perfect tone and
intonation.
Trebles: Medium tension nylon
Basses: Low tension, nylon multifilament, silver plated copper

Why you can feel secure shopping with us
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
Industry leading transaction security
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Private network links to banks
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Employee access
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
