A Unique Feel and a Strong, Even Tone!

Until now, it was necessary to increase a string’s diameter to produce a lower pitch. However, increasing the string diameter also raises internal damping. This makes the string less bright, less responsive, and duller; the thicker the string, the duller the tone. Aquila’s revolutionary new approach changes the material’s specific weight by gradually increasing it while keeping the gauge nearly unchanged.

The Result Is Stunning

The instruments sound brighter, more powerful, and more responsive across the entire fretboard. Additionally, the strings maintain their intonation better, since thicker strings require harder fretting, which causes them to go out of tune more easily.

Red Series string sets deliver better performance than conventional strings for players who love bright tones and powerful intonation across the instrument’s full range.

You’ve never heard a sound like this before because it simply didn’t exist!

I had a hard time deciding which ukulele strings were right for me. I then watched the videos with sound samples of the different strings and then found MY strings. I am very satisfied and happy. Thank you 😊

I already have a Uke equipped with them and the Aquila 86U are simply awesome! The Low G string is a wound "metal string". I will convert every uke to these strings.
Everything's fine
