This set is perfect for tuning to ADGCEA and is made with Aquila’s SuperNylgut which is an upgrade from Aquila’s Nyglut strings meaning they are extra strong and stable. First impression: changing from generic factory strings or whatever was on them, previously tuned to around G (i.

And whenver I try to play on my archlute, it feels as thought I'm trying to dance tango with an elephant. If your guitalele has bridge pins, I recommend this set for the high G tuning – it’s what I use in the above video. FWIW, I presently have one other full sized classical, and have had a few others in the past, so I'm not new to classical guitars, nylon strings, etc. Has anyone had breakage with the Guitalele versions of Aquilas, especially the red-packaged, Rubino-like E-tuning set?I can't imagine what normal tension strings would be like, if the light tension strings are this hard. And if you do find a single G or A string, it’s usually not much less expensive (or not less expensive at all) than a full set of ukulele strings. THE GUILELE/GUITALELE RED SERIES sets provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love clear, sharp sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.

Guitarlele Strings for High G Tuning: ADgCEa In this video, I’m using the D’Addario strings recommended above but with the G string substituted for a G string from this ukulele string set. As an experiment, I capoed my classical, with D'Addario EJ45's on it, at the 5th fret, and the tension on the GL-1 with EJ43's is notably higher. So you’ll be able to play the same songs, it’s just it will sound higher in pitch than if you were playing a normal guitar. A guitalele (or guilele) is a hybrid instrument that is similar to a guitar but with a shorter neck and a smaller body size.Installing these, after reading the pre-2017 stories of breakage with Aquila E1, G, and especially B strings, and also reading Mimmo's updates in 2016, 2017 and 2018 on improved formulas (for full-sized CG Rubinos), I was still terrified of breakage (I have a nervous personality) so I tuned them up to several steps below, progressively more steps below as I went up from E6 to E1, as in one step below for E6, three below for G, four for B, and five for E1), left them overnight, watched the Aquila installation video here: did the stretching like in the video but more gently and twice as many times, slowly brought all but the E and B to pitch, left those a full step low for a couple hours, then brought them up to pitch with additional gentle stretching. With their unique look and revolutionary approach, Aquila have risen to the challenge and produced another excellent string set which resolves the age old problem of ‘density versus string gauge’ and come up with fantastic results. Do string sets designed for “Requinto” or “guitalele” make any sort of difference vs standard nylons?
