Aquila 45O - Nylgut Oud Single String, Arabic Tuning, dd 3rd

Full sets and single strings for Arabic, Iraqi and Turkish Oud. Treble strings are made with a newly discovered bioplastic and high-performance acoustic that we call Sugar. Wound strings are made of an-allergic red copper with low noisiness under the left hand's fingers. On the Arabic and Turkish oud sets, the 3rd strings (D and E note) are normally wound (as well as the 4th D on the Iraqi oud set). A wound string has a bright sound but, at the same time, it is fragile, expensive and gets rusty in a short time. Aquila Corde has introduced a new invention - the 3rd unwound strings. These strings are made using a special bio-plastic loaded with metal powder in order to increase the density. The performances are far better than a traditional wound string, as one can see and hear in this video (the wound string is red while the unwound is brown). The new unwound strings last for a long time, they are very stable, and they have a perfectly smooth polished surface.
