Aquila 72U Rode Serie Nylgut Enkele Plain 4e String voor Ukulele Low G Tuning

Attention, Il n' y a qu'une seule corde dans le paquet alors que je pensais en avoir acheté 4 (8€ la corde ça fait cher !) ? J'ai quand même voulu tester le son de cette corde dont les qualités sonores sont ventées mais elle a cassé bien après une trentaine de minutes de jeu 30 minutes de jeu calme (sans médiator) ! ?Je n'avais jamais vu ça. Cerise sur le gâteau, il est bien sût impossible de retourner l'article. Je vais donc retourner, dès sa réouverture, voir mon magasin de musique préféré pour acheter un jeu de corde complet pour le même prix !PS : j'ai été obligé de mettre une étoile pour enregistrer mon évaluation mais bien sûr c'est plutôt -5

Ich benutze für meine Ukulelen nur Aquila Saiten. Wirklich Top!

My set of Aquila Reds came with a wound low G, which sounded fine, although not as mellow as the C-E-A strings, so I switched to this last night. Three notes:1) While a selling point of the reds is that the strings have a similar diameter and vary, instead, in density, the Low G is odd man out; this puppy is fat—larger in diameter than the wound string. I was not crazy about filing the nut notch, so instead I used the old wound string to “floss” the notch, smoothing it and widening it just slightly. This allows the string to sit on the notch securely, although I can still unseat the string easily, which is essential (see below).2) Search online and you will easily find a video Aquila made, showing how to install this string. It must be followed or you will snap the string, as the copper content makes it more brittle than a conventional nylon string. The key is to tighten the string OUT OF THE NOTCH, and to gently lift and stretch it along its length. If your ukulele is a high-end model with a “zero fret,” my guess is that you can bring it up to pitch in the conventional manner.3) Even after being brought up to tune, the string will (like all new strings) stretch and drop in pitch. To be safe, I have been unseating the string (put thumb under string at sound hole and gently lift and slide up to the notch to unseat), tuning, and then seating it back in the notch. As an indication of stretch, look at the machine head photo; on installation, this had about one wind, and now it has four or five.Other reviewers report this string popping in the case but, as I was careful installing, I am hopeful that it will be durable; time will tell.That said, the sound is wonderful: full, mellow, and consistent in tone with the rest of the Aquila Reds on my solid-spruce-top Hola! tenor. It makes this uke sound like I spent about $200-300 more for it than I actually did.

Nonostante sia una corda bassa il suono è cristallino ed è ben equilibrato con le altre tre corde (anche se Super Nylgut e non Red Series). Prima avevo provato una low-G avvolta Super Nylgut, ma aveva un suono troppo sovrastante e rimbombante. Dicono che sia fragile come corda, ma ho seguito le istruzioni per il montaggio e dopo un mese è ancora OK.
