Tenor Ukulele Set of 8 Strings (1 red unwound string, the remainder white Nylgut) – Regular Tuning: Gg Cc Ee Aa Key of CString Length of 76cmsUntil 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’s 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.
Although Aquila’s employees can provide some information on product characteristics, it is the Customer who is responsible for choosing the right items, in compliance with the specifications set by each manufacturer and according to his/her own personal requirements.
