Aquila 108C AMBRA 2000 Set

Set / Classical Guitar Trebles: SUPER NYLGUT(synthetic material), natural gut-coloured (brownish)Basses: Nylgut multifilament core/ Silver-plated woundUp to the middle of the 20th century, the only available strings for guitar were gut strings for Trebles and silk wound strings for basses: their acoustical performance was different from that of modern Guitar- setup. The salient characteristics of the past setups were: a marked tonal presence, response and brightness typical of the top gutstring (certainly superior to plain nylon and in some respects closer to fluocarbon strings) while the basses, on the other hand, possessed an exquisitely vocal quality, i.e. not so bright as, and with less sustain than, modern wound on nylon strings and more fundamental heavy.The AMBRA 2000 SET was developed in order to best re-create, by means of modern synthetic materials, a different feel. This set was conceived for one grade of tension and consists of gut-coloured Super Nylgutfortrebles, while for thebasses(high-quality silvered copper wires wound on Nylgut multifilament core) Aquila employed a differentbalance between wire and core in order to obtain warm and deep performances.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila’s famous Nylgut strings. The strings have avery smooth and polished surface feels like wax. So pleasant for your fingers! They are alsoless stretchy than any previous Nylgut version, this resulting in a faster setting to proper tune when new and in a tendency of easily maintaining the intonation when reached. On top of this, Supernylgut is stronger anddoes not suffer from sharp edgesof the nuts, marks from frets or hard nail playing. And you can get all these upgrades together with the wonderful richness of tone which made Aquila’s Nylgut a success!The synthetic material Nylgut (”synthetic gut”) as well as Super Nylgut have the same acoustic properties as gut – but without its typical defects – (high cost, limited duration and high instabilit
