Description

135C is a set of flamenco guitar strings from Aquila Corde Armoniche's Granato series. The set features trebles with a clear, fast, and powerful sound, and basses with short sustain, designed to emphasize the percussive aspect, ideal for the rasgueado technique.

Overview of Aquila Corde Armoniche's Granato series for flamenco guitar

Unique elegance and a sound never heard before. Until now, to achieve lower frequencies, it was necessary to increase the string diameter. However, doing so proportionally worsened the sound quality due to internal damping within the string. This resulted in a duller, darker, and less immediate sound: the thicker the string, the more damped the sound. Aquila's revolutionary approach, never introduced before, involves increasing the density of each individual string while keeping the diameters as unchanged as possible. The result is incredible. The trebles of the instrument sound more immediate, clear, sharp, powerful, and extraordinarily homogeneous across all strings and in all fretboard positions, even beyond the 12th fret. The intonation of the fretted string is better due to the smaller variation between diameters. The basses, on the other hand, have been designed to have a short, exquisitely percussive sustain to maximize the rasgueado effect. The GRANATO series guarantees superior performance compared to more traditional strings on the market and is suitable for all those who prefer power, brilliance, but also melodicism and homogeneity across the entire fretboard. You have never heard such a sound before because it simply did not exist. There are different percentages of metallic powder within the polymer to optimize the performance of each string within the set. For this reason, the color varies slightly with each string.
