Aquila 88U Red Series Low-G Tenor Ukulele String Set

Aquila 88U Red Series Low-G Tenor Ukulele String Set
The Aquila 88U Red Series Low-G Tenor Ukulele String Set provides a superior intonation across the frets that is fully integrated with that of the upper treble strings. Supplied with a wound low G. Red Series are a mix of New Nylgut and red copper powder.

Red Series
The Red Series give a unique look and a strong, consistent sound. Until recently, it was necessary to increase a string's gauge to reach lower frequencies. But increasing the string's diameter also increases internal dampening. That makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled; the thicker the string, the duller the sound. Aquila's revolutionary new approach, unique to them, changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge with fewer changes. The results are amazing –  instruments sound brighter, more powerful and more responsive through the entire range of the fret board. The strings also intonate better, because thicker strings need to be fretted harder, pulling them further out of tune. They provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love bright sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.

Features:

• The technical solution adopted was firstly to make the Nylgut elastic and then add red copper powder in order to increase the density to about twice that of standard white Nylgut
• A unique feeling with a strong, balanced and consistent sound
• They do not break under tension providing rapid, stable tuning
• Intonation is accurate past the 12th fret. Pressing the string firmly down on the frets does not cause the note to sharpen
• Low G String: Wound for enhanced performance and balanced tone
• Density is about twice than standard white Nylgut
• Colour: Red-Brown
• Made in Italy
