Aquila 20C Alabaster Classical Guitar Set, high tension

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">20C is the high tension classical guitar string set from Aquila Corde Armoniche's Alabastro series. They feature basses wound with high-quality silver-plated copper and composed of a Nylgut multifilament core, ensuring not only high tensile strength but also low absorption of atmospheric humidity and sweat.</h1><h2>Watch the video of Alabastro classical guitar strings by Aquila Corde Armoniche</h2><center><iframe title="Bach Bouree Double in B Minor" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BL-mkJnjbzs" width="1236" height="695" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Overview of the Alabastro series for classical guitar by Aquila Corde Armoniche</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the mid-20th century, the first three guitar strings were made almost exclusively of gut, a material used for millennia, characterized by excellent attack readiness combined with a particularly brilliant timbre: essentially different, therefore, from that of Nylon&reg;. The timbre of gut has always been a constant reference point for luthiers, composers, and performers until the recent past. The development of a new synthetic product (both as monofilament and multifilament for the basses) that presented the same acoustic characteristics as gut (but not its typical defects) such as high cost, short lifespan, and high instability to climatic changes has therefore always been a fundamental point of Aquila's research work. Nylgut&reg; finally represents the culmination of this effort, allowing the rediscovery of the sounds familiar to the great masters of the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as presenting excellent intonation stability, superior to that of the best Nylon&reg; strings. Sets are available in three tension grades (Light, Normal, High), with the first three strings made of &lsquo;synthetic gut&rsquo; Nylgut&reg; monofilament, perfectly round and smooth, allowing for quick attack, acoustic projection, and tonal qualities reminiscent of gut, in addition to presenting exceptionally stable intonation. These properties therefore allow for optimal sonic &lsquo;connection&rsquo; with the wound basses. These are composed of a Nylgut&reg; multifilament core wound with silver-plated copper, which is characterized by high tensile strength and great stability to climatic changes, allowing for rapid and stable intonation, excellent acoustic performance, and long string life. Similar to gut, Nylgut&reg; is a material sensitive to cutting. Alabastro basses, wound with high-quality silver-plated copper, are composed of a Nylgut multifilament core that ensures not only high tensile strength but also low absorption of atmospheric humidity and sweat. Before installing the strings, ensure that the grooves at the nut and saddle are shallow, perfectly smooth, and free of sharp edges. Otherwise, use 600-grit sandpaper or fine-grit steel wool.</p><h2>Specifications of the 20C Alabastro for classical guitar by Aquila Corde Armoniche</h2><p><strong>Diameters</strong>: E 1.12 - A 0.91 - D 0.72 - G 1.00 - B 0.82 - E 0.67</p>
