Aquila Corde Ambra 900 Classical Guitar String Set

Up to the middle of the 20th century, the only available strings for guitar were plain gut for trebles and silk wound strings for basses: their acoustical performance was quite different from that of modern stringings.

Aquila's Ambra 900 set was developed keeping in mind this historical fact, in order to best re-create, by means of modern synthetic materials, the sound of gut and silk-wound basses of that times.

This set was conceived for one grade of tension only, and consists of gut-coloured Supernylgut trebles, with a rectified surface exactly as its made on gut strings, adopting the representative mean diameters as indicated by Pujol in his method "Escuela Razonada de la Guitarra" of 1934. Basses have a silver-plated copper winding over special multifilament core, that Aquila calls 'Rayon', and are specifically balanced between metal and core in order to achieve the same texture of sound found in the original silk-wound strings.
