Aquila AQ 13U tenor ukulele strings

Aquila AQ 13U tenor ukulele strings TENOR SET high G

Aquila AQ 13U strings is a product of New Nylgut® series. The New Nylgut® is the first product developed and patented by Aquila. Aquila AQ 13U is G-C-E-A tenor set.

The New Nylgut® is not common Nylon or Carbon, or a mix of them. It is a plastic compound of three different components. Compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune better, this because the moisture absorption is less of .1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings. Due to the higher density, similar to that of pure gut, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound than Nylon and it is not so metallic like those of the so-called ‘Carbon’ (Fluorocarbon) PVDF strings. In other words, the Aquila New Nylgut® is probably the first genuine syntetic gut in the world.

The New Nylgut® assures:
• a better sound than Nylon or PVDF, similar to the genuine gut strings;
• a more accurated fret-intonation due to the well gauged material;
• a very stable intonation under moisture changes.
