Aquila Concert Ukulele Nylgut + Wound Low G String Set

Aquila Concert Ukulele Nylgut + Wound Low G String Set

Until the mid-20th century Ukuleles were mounted exclusively in gut, a material that had been used for thousand of years and that combines excellent promptness of attack with brilliance of timbre - very different, in other words, from modern nylon strings. And until recently the typical sound quality of gut has been a constant point of reference for luthiers, composers and performers alike.

A fundamental aim of Aquila research has been to make a new synthetic product having the same acoustic properties as gut - but without its typical defects - (high cost, limited duration and high instability under varying climate). The New Nylgut® has precisely these qualities: allowing you to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century Uke masters; and guaranteeing a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings.

Aquila's synthetic New Nylgut ukulele strings are marked as follows

• 1st G - red

• 2nd C - blue

• 3rd E - green

• 4th A - white
