Aquila Red Series Low G-4th Single String for Soprano Ukulele. Item 70U. Made in Italy.
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. Our revolutionary new approach — unique to us — 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. Main 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. Color: red-brown Surface: slightly rough; this texture has eliminated the squeak that sometime occurs with the Nylgut strings. Elasticity/Elongation: consistent with white Nylgut! Performances: better than the first elastic version! They do not break under tension providing rapid, stable tuning! Intonation: 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 our RED SERIES® string, as was necessary with the previous fluorocarbon G strings. Density: about twice than standard white Nylgut.

The Aquila Sugar Ukulele strings are made using a bio-plastic derived from sugar-cane that was recently discovered in Italy. The sound of these strings is clearly brilliant, clean and prompt. Unlike the Fluorocarbon strings, Sugar strings have an excellent vibrato and a significant timbre variation when changing the right hand position from near to the bridge to over the sound hole. In other words, in their extremes, they contain both the sweetness and melodiousness of Nylon and the brightness and promptness typical of Fluorocarbon. Another important property is the characteristic sustain, which by scientific measurements is superior to any type of string currently available in the market. Another feature that has been measured is the sound power: our scientific tests have shown that it is superior to that of Fluorocarbon strings. Although the surface is extremely smooth, the grip on the fingers is remarkable.
