Aquila 17U New Nylgut 6-String Tenor Ukulele String Set

The Aquila 17U New Nylgut String Set is designed for six-string tenor ukuleles, offering a warm, natural tone inspired by traditional gut strings with the improved tuning stability and durability of modern synthetic materials. This set features Aquila's New Nylgut strings, complemented by a Red Series low A string for a balanced and expressive playing experience.

Designed for gCcEAa tuning, the six-string configuration includes paired C and A strings, adding richness and depth to the familiar GCEA ukulele tuning. The combination provides a fuller sound while maintaining the bright, articulate character of a tenor ukulele.

New Nylgut Material for Natural Tone

Aquila's New Nylgut material is engineered to reproduce the acoustic qualities of traditional gut strings while offering improved resistance to changes in humidity. Its natural-sounding response delivers clear articulation, a prompt attack and stable intonation for both fingerstyle playing and rhythmic strumming.

Six-String Configuration with Red Series Low A

The 17U set features a six-string gCcEAa arrangement with paired C and A strings. The C course combines two strings tuned an octave apart, while the A course includes a Red Series low A string paired with a higher A string.

This configuration produces a fuller, layered sound while retaining the familiar GCEA tuning structure.

Reliable Tuning and Comfortable Performance

The New Nylgut construction offers a relatively short stretching period and improved tuning stability compared with conventional nylon strings. Its smooth playing feel and gut-inspired tonal characteristics make it suitable for a range of ukulele playing styles.

Manufactured in Italy, the Aquila 17U set provides a complete replacement string set specifically designed for six-string tenor ukuleles.

Note: This string set is designed for six-string tenor ukuleles with gCcEAa tuning. It is not a standard four-string tenor ukulele set.
