Aquila 6-String Tenor Ukulele String Set (AQ17U)

6 String Set of Aquila Ukulele Strings Tuned gCcEAa

CLASSIC HAWAIIAN JANGLE
The AQ17U Sets feature Double courses of C and A strings for that classic Hawaiian jangle that only Ukuleles quipped with the High C + Low C and High A + Low A strings can deliver.

The New Nylgut® is the first product developed and patented by Aquila. Nylgut® is a plastic compound of three different components.

We'd say most ukulele enthusiasts seem to agree that fitting a set of Aquilas is the FIRST and BEST way to improve the tone of a cheap ukulele. The volume and tone improvement will knock you out and are well worth the price of fitting a set.

Compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune better, because the moisture absorption is less than .1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings (i.e. Du Pont Tynex® polyamide 6-12).

Due to the higher density, similar to that of pure gut (1.30 gr/cm3), the New Nylgut® produces a better sound than Nylon.

In other words, the New Nylgut® is probably the first genuine synthetic gut in the world.

The New Nylgut® assures:

• better sound similar to the genuine gut strings;
• a more accurate fret-intonation due to the well-gauged material;
• a very stable intonation under moisture changes.
• Colour: white
