Aquila AQ-153C guilele/guitalele snaren set, for 17" scale, E-tuning E-A-D-g-b-e (wound 4th, 5th and 6th)

Aquila AQ-153C guilele/guitalele snaren set, for 17" scale, E-tuning E-A-D-g-b-e (wound 4th, 5th and 6th) Who never dreamed of tuning the ukulele in low G, without using a fourth wound snaar type?Wound snaars indeed, together with the quality of sound power shows problems that in ukulele are very considered:
1) shorter lifetime than the treble snaars
2) sound power too bright and intrusive compared to the plastic treble snaars
3) excessive sustain
4) noise caused by the fingers of the left hand
5) rapid oxidation of the metal wire in case of acid sweat

The only alternative solution used today is the use of a fluocarbon snaar. Its performance, however, is never entirely satisfactory because a low snaar, to be really good, must not only use materials with high density but also very flexible. Fluorocarbon is unfortunately a very stiff material. Elasticity, together with density, is indeed the secret for the sound quality of a low snaar. We are happy to announce that we managed to won a difficult technological challenge (already tried by many others but without success): unwound fourth snaars now finally exist. From now, you will finally be able to tune your ukulele in Low G ensuring sound power,sound quality and intonation on frets better than the fluorocarbon snaars fully integrated with that of the upper treble snaars. Main Features: Technical solution adopted: Nylgut made firstly elastic and then added with 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 hapen with the Nylguts.
-Elasticity: excellent
-Intonation: accurate past the 12th fret
-Pressing strongly the snaar on the frets, the note does not became sharper
-It is not necessary to file the nut slot wider to accommodate it like hapen with the fluocarbon G snaars
-Density: about twice than standard white Nylgut
-Diameters: included in a range of 1.00 to 1.07 mm (sopraan and Tenor Ukuleles)
