Aquila’s Sugar Ukulele Strings are made from a transparent plastic material derived from sugarcane. This material adds a light vibrato and timbre variation to the strings that fluorocarbon can’t match. They blend traits of nylon and fluorocarbon strings for a sweet, clear, and prompt sound with plenty of sustain and projection. Don’t let the name fool you, these strings are easy to grip and fret but won’t cause sticky finger

Aquila’s Red® strings produce a lower-pitched note by changing the weight of the material rather than increasing its gauge. By keeping the gauge thinner and more consistent, these strings sound brighter and more powerful, and are more responsive across the entire fretboard. This also helps them stay in tune longer than thicker strings. The textured brown/red Red® strings have a very rich tone with a very loud projection.

Aquila’s New Nylgut® strings are made from a plastic compound made of three synthetic components, the first genuine synthetic gut string in the world. These smooth white strings offer a rich, neutral tone that sounds similar to genuine gut strings, with a loud projection. New Nylgut® strings stay in tune longer, offer more accurate fret intonation, and are very stable through moisture changes.
