The specific Aquila Corde sets for special tunings of classical guitar are now available in Cuerdas Pulsadas (65 -66 cm vibrating length): High G, High A, Low A, Low E and Russian tuning.
The three treble strings are made of polished, rounded monofilament from ByoNylon, the first eco-friendly synthetic string (discovered by Aquila Corde), which stands out for its excellent acoustics and mechanical properties.
Byonylon is made with a vegetable derivative (63%), which allows reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere by more than 30% during the synthesis of the polymer compared to nylon used in music strings.
The bass strings, wound with high-quality silver-plated copper, have a New Nylgut monofilament core that ensures not only high tensile strength but also low moisture absorption.
This allows a fast and stable tuning under environmental changes.
- 128C – HIGH G (g, d, b ♭, F, C, G)
