These are Aquila strings but not as we've seen them before... moving away from the Italian company's regular nylgut variations, and onto a refined nylon string they've developed with uke performer Aldrine Guerrero.

Describing strings and the sound they make is very tricky... however, to give it a stab with these I'd say very 'sparkly', nice and loud with a bit of punch and a smooth finish. I have used these on my own tenor ukulele and have no intention of taking them off!* They seem a lot more lively than the Savarez I had on previously (though I'll maintain a liking for them as they'd served me well over the past 18 months!)

*I did eventually take them off - the quest to find the perfect strings never ends!

These strings are lovely and smooth for your fingers with a cool, tint of green.

They're for tenor ukuleles with a high G, and I also have sets for baritone (the latter have a wound D and G).

These strings were developed with Aldrine who favours strings with a percussive, forward attack and you can see that working with these new Aquila AGxAQ strings, although they're not a one tricky pony, they've got a nice, smooth, long sustain also.

This product can only be ordered in the EU when added to a ukulele order.
