Aquila Soprano Ukulele Nylgut strings
Since the Ukulele appeared (approx. in 1874), gut strings was the only choice available. The gut strings initially used were those of the Violin (first and second string) and then in the '30s, appeared the specific set for Ukulele. By the production of modern synthetic materials and in particular of Nylon (1938), the strings to use music finally ensured a low cost, a good long life and high stability to climate changes. Despite this, with the decline of gut something important was lost: its special feel and its ability to imitate at best human voice, this quality for decades could not be recovered.
Made by hand as before, the gut strings of these sets allow you to enjoy the authentic sounds of the 'Roaring Twenties'.
A fundamental aim of Aquila research has been to design a new synthetic product with the same acoustic properties of gut, but without its typical defects (high cost, short lifetime, high instability under moisture changes). Their new nylgut has precisely all these good qualities without all these defects. Its features include promptness of attack, excellent perfomances and a truly remarkable stability of intonation under moisture changes.
