What makes this product unique in its category

What sets these strings apart is the use of silver-plated copper wound over a Nylgut multifilament core. Aquila’s proprietary Nylgut blends gut-like warmth with modern reliability, while silver-plated winding boosts projection and clarity. The result is a string set with a quick break-in and excellent stability.

• String Material: Silver-plated copper windings over Nylgut core — delivers bright, full bass response and long-lasting durability.
• Precise gauges for E (1.07 mm), A (0.88 mm), and D (0.70 mm) ensure balanced tension and steady intonation.
• Tension: Normal/medium — easy on the fingers, suitable for varied playing styles.
