Set / Classical Guitar Light TensionTrebles:SUPER NYLGUT monofilament, gut-coloured (brownish)Basses: Super Nylgut multifilament core/ Silver-plated woundALABASTRO – Until the mid-20th century all Treble guitar strings were made in gut, a material that had been used for thousand of years and that combines good promptness of attack and excellent performances.A fundamental aim of Aquila’s research has therefore been to design a new synthetic product having the same acoustic properties as gut, but without its typical defects (high cost, short lifetime, high instability under moisture changes)upernylgut has precisely all these good qualities without all these defects. Its features includepromptness of attack,excellent performances and a trulyremarkable stability ofintonation under moisture changes. The Alabastro Basses, wound with high quality silver-plated copper, consist of a Supernylgut multifilament core that ensures not only a high resistance to tensile stress but also a low absorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweatRNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila’s famous Nylgut strings. The synthetic material Super Nylgut (“synthetic gut”) have the same acoustic properties as gut – but without its typical defects – (high cost, limited duration and high instability under varying climatic). Nylgut has precisely these qualities: allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century masters; and guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings.
