The Aquila Strings Guilele Red Series was designed to deliver a bright tone by adding metal powder rather than increasing a string’s gauge to reach lower frequencies.
But increasing the string’s diameter also increases the internal dampening. This approach is utilized to change the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauges almost unchanged. The strings are designed to maintain their intonation better and create powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument. $15.00 a set.
