A unique feeling and a strong, consistent sound. Until now, it was necessary to increase the gauge of a string for it to produce a lower-pitched note. 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. The revolutionary new approach — unique to Aquila — changes the specific weight of the material, 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 fret board. The strings also maintain 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. You never heard a sound like this before, simply because before it did not exist.
- ▼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
- Surface is slightly rough; this texture has eliminated the squeak that sometime occurs with the Nylgut strings
- Elasticity/Elongation is consistent with white Nylgut
- Performances are better than the first elastic version
- 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
- It is not necessary to file the nut slot wider to accommodate RED SERIES string
- Density is about twice than standard white Nylgut
