Aquila Red Series AQ-71 Concert Ukulele String - Low G - 4th String

I personally like the sound better than regular G. Feels comfortable on fingers even when sliding. Really happy that they now sell one for soprano which I just put on my carbon Enya. It didn't work for my Outdoor Ukulele as it created a snare sound. I keep an extra of each on hand. I use Martin m610 and m605 for rest of strings for a soft tone and comfort

An Aquila red low G string is best paired with an Aquila red full string set. When used with other types of strings, the red low G string sounds dissonant. This is because, in comparison to the other strings, the harmonics and overtones are different. You wouldn't string a uke with three fluorocarbon strings and one nylgut string, right? The Aquila red strings also have a different tension than fluorocarbon and nylgut which effects strumming technique. If you're curious about the Aquila red, get a full set to used together. How do they sound? IMO, the reds have a somewhat percussive/ "fwappy" sound sort of like a semi-chuck. The sustain is also less than other conventional strings. It's like the difference between a metal wound string and nylgut string sustain. In a beat heavy or percussive arrangement, it sounds nice. The reds are not ideal for fingerstyle because the sustain is noticeably shorter than nylgut and fluorocarbon. Still, I like the sound of both Aquila nylgut and Aquila reds. Not better or worse, just different.

Just buy it. Way better than a jimmy rigged low G string. It sounds so natural and beautiful.

I have these on my Ohana CK 35G. They sound great. The tone is so sweet and mellow. They do take a long time to stretch and they do stretch, a lot. They settle but still continue to stretch very little. Plan to tune each time you play but it's worth it.

This is hands down my favorite low G that I've found so far. Its not a wrapped string so it lasts a lot longer and doesn't have that annoying metallic vibration sound of the wrapped strings.

Sting broke

I was so pleased with the first package of Aquilas I bought I got this package of one low G string. Even though I have a slight hearing loss, these strings seem to make my ukulele sound brighter and cleaner than what came with the new instrument. The low G string turned out to be essential for me to play with good intonation, playing melody lines. I have also bought another full set of Aquilas for another ukulele. Some reviewers had qualms about the color, but I don't I'm mostly interested in quality intonation, and vibrant sound.

This low G is pretty nice, I like the color and sound, it matches pretty close to my other purple strings. I bought one about 3 years ago, but it broke a few months ago, not even while using it, while just hanging on the wall not being used for a while. I got another one though, good price, hopefully this one won't break again.

Le son est super. La s’est étiré sur une 10aine d’heures de pratiques. Maintenant elle est plus stable.

The string was of good quality and produced a perfect tone.Highly recommended.

Ho acquistato questo low G ben due volte perché mi piaceva moltissimo il suono sul mio concerto Enya, ma in entrambi i casi la corda è saltata da sola dopo pochissimo tempo (circa 1 mese). Credo possa trattarsi di un difetto di fabbrica, perché con tutte le altre mute Aquila mi sono sempre trovato molto bene.

Only 1 string in the packet, thought it was a full set including a low G string

I love Aquila Red strings! The variable density make for more evenly sized strings and the texture of the string itself seems to provide beautiful resonance. I've used these on a Baritone (with wound low strings) and on a Concert and a Soprano uke. My favorite variety of ukulele string!
