Features:
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 our research has therefore 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 climatic). The New Nylgut has precisely these qualities: allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century Uke masters; and guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings. Tuning: Key of C – GCEA Set composition: 1 wound 1 Full set of Nylgut concert ukulele strings Low G tuning in the Key of C with a wound 4th Strings are Nylgut (polymerized plastic with additives patented by Aquila) and multi-strand Nylgut overwound with silver plated copper Made in Italy
