The world’s most renowned ukulele string maker introduces new Nylgut ukulele strings and is Aquila’s first product to be developed in house to be its own proprietary design. Nylgut strings were developed by blending three different synthetic components to make a composite material that sounds better and stays in tune better than standard nylon strings, but with the feel and playability of genuine gut. An added feature of this exclusive composite material is that is was designed to absorb less moisture than other strings; which greatly improves intonation and tuning accuracy. Compared to standard Nylon strings, New Nylgut strings have a density similar to gut, but provides an even more refined sound; eliminating the characteristic metallic-like tones often found in other synthetic designs. For the best sounding synthetic gut string for ukuleles, that still gives the player the feel of genuine gut, Aquila New Nylgut are the perfect choice!

Gave my Fender Rincon a lot more volume when not on amp. But my finger tips hurt more when I pick. I've taken into account there is a wound low G, but I have 12 string acoustic/electric with wounds and don't remember it bothering me. Getting used to the low G sound and enjoying it more each time, but have string buzz now that wasn't there before and think I will have to adjust the nut a bit. Satisfied.

I switched my ukulele nylon stock strings high-G to low-G and the sound is amazing. I enjoy both but I’m learning how to play and so far this is my second set of different strings. I have a tenor ukulele, the sound is more similar to a guitar in my ear specially when I plug it into an acústic amp. The only thing that I noticed is that they get out of tune quickly. But I put the string on myself so for the first time ever, so at this point I am experimenting, learning and loving it!

Las compré sólo para cambiar a Low G mi ukulele tenor marca Córdoba, que ya viene con cuerdas Aquila de fábrica, entonces le va perfecto. Me encanta el sonido con Low G, no sé cómo no había cambiado antes. Obviamente hace que el sonido sea un poco más grave, pero no pierde el toque del ukulele y a mi no suena como a guitarra o guitalele, como he leído de algunas personas. Cabe aclarar que yo en lo personal hago más strumming que picking, y no sé si para picking no convenga cambiar de High G a Low G.IMPORTANTE: Si eres principiante y buscas el sonido típico agudo y dulce ESTAS CUERDAS NO SON PARA TI. Busca el modelo que diga “High G”

I've 5 ukes, a couple of starter Lohanu's, a great limited edition Spruce top Kala, a Kanilea Islander, and a Kanilea K2T, and they've all been received with Aquila strings.I've never had a problem with the strings, but wanted to try Worth Clear Fluoros on my Kala.Today I replaced the Worth (low) G string with an Aquila wound (low) G string because the Worth string sounded dull, quite lifeless, compared to an Aquila string. The 1-3 Worth strings are ok, so they will remain on the Kala until it's time to replace them - and they'll be replaced with Aquilas.

I have played guitars for years but the tenor ukulele is the newest toy for me and after some weeks now, I am absolutely having a ball with it. I am not sure what strings were on my ukulele when I bought it but my first set of purchased strings were Aquila with the high g and I really liked them. Now, my second purchased set of string are the same brand but with the low G string. If you are new to the ukulele like myself, some really novice information for you is that the lower G really fills out the sound and seems to fit more naturally into the scale of things but the high G is kinda cool too. The high g tends to be more in line for the more banjo style picking and well just more interesting strumming sounds and styles and harmonics, in general. Just now really starting to understand how versatile this instrument can be. I definitely like the Aquila brand. Today, it is more of just having a dilemma on which G to play with because both have their own merits. Probably will have to go and buy another ukulele so I can have both options. Always, open minded to hear and learn from those out there that have the experience so please feel free to respond.

Five stars overall - great sounding strings. Be aware that the wound 4th string won't last as long as the others that come with this set. Aquila's website warns you of this, but the amazon product page does not. From Aquila's website: "Please read: the wound strings used for all Aquila ukulele sets such as soprano low G, concert low G, tenor low G, baritone in guitar tuning, and a few other varieties that use a wound string, use a very fine wire wrapping on the wound strings in order to produce their excellent tone. These strings do not have the long life span of the more durable but poor sounding wound strings offered by other manufacturers. Players who use Aquila ukulele sets with wound strings please be aware that the wound strings will need to be replaced much more often than the plain Nylgut strings that make up the rest of the set. We advise that players purchase 3 or 4 extra single wound strings with every set. When played often a wound string may last only about 1-2 weeks, which is also dependent on the condition of the frets. This is considered to be normal wear for these strings and is not a defective string. Thank you for your understanding."

I recently bought a Cordoba 20TM-CE Acoustic Electric Tenor Ukulele, but it was strung with a high G string. The main reason for me to get a tenor rather than a soprano was for the richer low G sound, so I ordered this pack of Aquilas! I restrung my uke and it sounds terrific! The strings are bright and rich, and the low G adds an overall fuller sound in my opinion.If you don't mind a wound G string, you'll love this pack! At first it was odd playing with a wound string like a guitar, but I got used to it. I believe the main downside of having a wound G rather than unwound is that the tone of it does not quite match the other strings as well when fingerpicking and such. However, I still love the rich sound it brings to my uke! Highly recommended!
