Until the mid-20th century Ukuleles were mounted exclusively in gut, a
material that had been used for thousand of years and that combines
excellent promptness of attack with brilliance of timbre - very
different, in other words, from modern nylon strings. And until recently
the typical sound quality of gut has been a constant point of reference
for luthiers, composers and performers alike.
A fundamental aim of Aquila research has therefore been to make a new
synthetic product having the same acoustic properties as gut - but
without its typical defects - (high cost, limited duration and high
instability under varying climatic). NylgutŪ has precisely these
qualities : allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities
familiar to the great 19th and 20th century Uke masters; and
guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that
of the best gut and nylon strings.
