Aquila 87U Red Series Nyglut Tenor Ukulele Strings, C-Tuning, High-G

Full set of Aquila Red Series Strings designed for Tenor regular C-tuning with high-G.

Starting with Nylgut, Aquila adds red copper powder to increase the density of the string to almost twice as much. This results in a stiffer string capable of lower tunings, less breakage and better intonation. Filing of the nut slot may be required.

Red series sets give a unique feeling and a strong, consistent sound. Until now, it was necessary to increase the gauge of a strings to produce a lower-pitched note. 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 changes the specific weight of the material, by increasing it progressively to leave the gauge almost unchanged. The result is amazing: instruments sound brighter, more powerful and more responsive through the entire range of the fretboard. The strings also keep their intonation better because thicker strings need to be fretted harder pulling them further out of tune. Red series sets provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love bright sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.
