Recebi a corda no sábado e a afinei como de costume estava ancioso pela corda espera uma corda ótima mais sacanagem ela arrebentou com 3 dias ela veio um material ressecado aparentemente velho já é a terceira vez q compro na Amazon e recebo um produto q ñ presta. Vc paga por um produto espera q no mínimo ele funcione mais Manda o produtos velho ou nem se sab a origem de fato do produto se é conivente com o q diz o anúncio muito decepcionado

Le dan al instrumento un color de sonido insuperable! Para aquellos que se quejan, lean las instrucciones es para afinación en Low G, tengo la fortuna de tener oído musical y no tuve ningún problema con la afinación, llevo años usando esta marca. Sin duda un producto de calidad.

I am an old guitar man. Recently (15 months ago) I got a Uke and quickly became the lead break soloist at my Uke Club. Wanting to use my guitar break patterns to maximum effect I choose to “wear my G string low”...so to speak. I have a Kala Cedar/acacia tenor Uke with electrics. It came with Aquila Nylgut with the wound low G. For me that wound G was out of character with the other strings. Very dominant, “different” and “there”.Research led me to the unwound Red...bought as a single string (72U). Put it on...loved it. Sounded like it belonged. 2 days later it broke. Bought 2 more. Next one...loved it...lasted 2 weeks. Found a video on how to install WITHOUT DRAGGING IT THROUGH THE NUT NOTCH...AT ALL. Bingo! Number 3 has lasted almost a year now. Bought 3 more for spares. Still don’t know if they just have a high failure rate and you just have to try till you get to a good one, or whether the magic installation video did the trick. Number 4 will tell...at some point.Now I am noticing that, when I get to soloing riffs high up the neck, the stiff thick Nylgut strings rather lack sustain. Thinking that a full set of reds may do the trick...being thinner and more free to vibrate, and apparently sounding brighter and with more sustain. So here’s the weird thing that is baffling to me...and so many other reviewers. The set of tenor Reds (88U) come with a WOUND LOW G! Why Aquila...WHY? The whole schpeel about the copper and the density and the thinner string that gets a lower frequency seems to come off the rails here! So I have to order an 88U set, throw away the wound low G and continue to buy unwound low Gs separately? Duh! And then there are the many many reviews that say that the other strings are probably going to be “breaky” also. I’m going to try it...shooting for heaven...hoping not to get hell.UPDATE: Got the set of Reds, Low G as discussed. Threw away the wound low G as discussed and put the new Red C,E, and A on with the existing unwound Red G. Stretched them while installing. Did not drag them through the nut slots. Actually these are so stretchable that I was able to reach concert pitch BEFORE the final drop into the nut slot. Actually I got one TOO HIGH, and had to back it off once seated in the nut! Got away with it. Now with all Reds on I am in heaven. As hoped, everything is crisp, clean and clear. Longer sustain everywhere...including high up the neck. Way easier to bend for lead work...AND NO BREAKAGE! Had them on about 10 Days now. Upping the rating to 5 stars. Still think it’s stupid that there is no unwound low G set.UPDATE 2: It’s been a few months now. Playing every day. No more breakages. Love my Aquila Reds now that I have learned how to install them. Upping to 5 stars.

First put string on ukulele and tuned up and sounded good for 3 days. Checked ukulele after 3rd day string was broken! No reason for the breakage. Not too happy!
