## Overview

Aquila Red Series AQ-86 Concert Ukulele Strings are premium Bionylon monofilament strings engineered for concert ukuleles with Low G tuning. They deliver 40% greater volume and enhanced tonal clarity without increasing string gauge, ensuring bright, responsive sound and stable tuning in diverse environments. Designed for professional comfort and consistent playability, these strings quickly stretch in to provide superior intonation and sustain, making them a top choice for serious ukulele players seeking studio and stage-ready performance.

## Description

Aquila’s Red Series ukulele strings provide the player at any level a unique, comfortable feel and a strong sound that brings out the best in any instrument. Other manufacturers take the more traditional route by increasing a string’s gauge to reach lower frequencies. That just makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled. The thicker is the string, the duller is the sound. Aquila’s revolutionary new approach actually changes the specific weight of the material that makes up each string progressively leaving the gauge unchanged. The results are amazing! Any instrument will immediately sound brighter; and will be more powerful and responsive throughout the entire range of the fretboard. The strings also maintain their intonation better because thicker strings need to be fretted harder, pulling them farther out of tune. Red Series sets provide superior performance for musicians who love clear, sharp sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.

Review: Fantastic - Wow! Love them Ok so not an expert review, been playing for only a few weeks. I started out on a low end uke with Fluorocarbon Strings which were bright and twangy, but had limited sustain. I upgraded my uke last week to something a bit nicer and it shipped with the Águila Nylgut strings which sounded a bit “deader” and were quite thick. These reds are wonderful. They are brighter and sustain better than the other 2. They also have a very nice feel and seem to be a smaller gauge. The sound is just night and day. I was on the fence about the Luna I purchased, but these strings made me fall in love. They sound wonderful, feel great, are easier to play than the Nylguts. They also look great and contrast with my uke beautifully. I bought the low G String version of the reds. It’s true that the G is wound and plated/painted true red. The other strings are more of a brick color. I don’t mind at all. The strings fit my nut without any modification. They need time to stretch. I have had to tune every 5-10 mins or so of playing for the last hour. They needed to stretch a lot it seems, but they are now to the point of very minor adjustments. I suspect they will stay in tune quite well after a bit more break in. I love these. They are perfect and really just make me excited to play my uke!
Review: Bright sound - I've heard people say that these are the Marmite of uke strings, but I definitely like them. I've been playing on them daily for a week or so, and they settled in and no longer needed frequent tuning after the first few days. They did squeak under my fingers for the first few days but that noise has disappeared now. I find them to have a really bright sound which resonates, which I enjoy. They also have an interesting, almost slightly rough-ish texture which I like for finger picking.

## Features

- EXTREME COMFORT: Aquila Red Series strings deliver greater volume and playing comfort than standard strings, making them ideal for concert performers and everyday ukulele players.
- BRIGHTER TONE: Advanced composite material and proprietary design enhance tone clarity and responsiveness across the entire fretboard for studio, stage, or home use.
- STABLE TUNING: Moisture-resistant construction helps keep your ukulele in tune longer, no matter the climate or practice environment.
- EVEN PLAYABILITY: Each string features a similar diameter but varies in density, creating a uniform feel and improved intonation for consistent performance.
- STRETCHING IS NORMAL: Aquila ukulele strings are made from the highest quality nylon available; and when new, will stretch significantly until settled. This is completely normal. To help them stretch faster, gently pull the strings while tuning the instrument and repeat this process as necessary until they hold the appropriate note.
- LOW G READY: Designed specifically for concert-size ukuleles with Low G tuning; comes as a complete set of four strings for quick and easy installation.
