Soft Touch, Gritty Texture but Nice on the Fingers

Soft Touch, Gritty Texture but Nice on the Fingers
I had manufacturer installed Aquila nylagut strings on my ukulele, and they were OK, but I really didn't have a basis of comparison because I hadn't tried anything else. I just knew that after a couple of months of continuous practice, they didn't seem to feel any more comfortable than when I first got my uke. I assumed based on everything I read that after my fingers "toughened up" they would feel better.... but no difference that I could tell.Then I decided that I wanted a low G string, so I went on the hunt and found an unwound low G Aquila red available at a local music shop near me. I was leery because in theory, this string being unwound would have been a larger gauge than the C string on my current instrument. This also meant that it would be even thicker, stiffer, and harder to fret than the C. But since I wanted to try low G, I installed it. As far as the gauge, the low G was exactly the same size as my existing C string, but I was immediately impressed with the "softness" of this string, and how much easier it was to fret than the other nylagut strings, particularly C & E.So... I decided to purchase the entire set of Aquila Red's, and what a tremendous difference! The strings are so much softer and easier to fret than the nylagut. They have a slightly smaller gauge, because they are infused with copper particles which increases the density of the material, so these strings are manufactured thinner than the nylagut strings. Not by much, but the slight variation makes a huge difference on the fingertips.In comparison to other Aquila strings I own, here are the actual measurements based on my own readings with a mm guage, not what is printed/advertised by the company: Measurements of the strings are as follows:Aquila Red: (g) .58mm, (c) .78mm, (e) .64mm, (a) .51mm, Low (G) .89mmAquila Nylagut: (g) .62mm, (c) .89mm, (e) .78mm, (a) .60mmAquila Graphite Gray: (g) .60mm, (c) .81mm, (e) .73mm, (a) .58mmThe strings do have a slightly "gritty" texture, and it does take a little getting used to. This is supposed to wear off over time, but I have been using my ukulele daily for about 3 months since installing the strings (anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour/day) and I haven't notices any reduction in the texture. I play mostly fingerstyle, so the strings may not be getting as much abrasion as someone who is primarily strumming. Then grit does produce a scratchy sound against your fingers in fingerstyle, not so much to detract from the music, but it is there.All in all, I do really like these strings, and I like that I am able to have a low G instrument where the strings are all made of the same material. Full disclosure, in the image my instrument is strung with low G, and backwards (I'm a lefty)! The lighter colored string on the far right is the low G Aquila Red, and not part of the set purchased for this review.

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018
First time restringing a ukulele and it went well. These strings are still in the process of stretching, so not holding the tuning yet, but that’s to be expected. They look great on my soprano kala pineapple! The C string is more brown than red, but still looks good.

Update: these string are holding the tuning great and sound very bright and crisp. This is my travel ukulele, so these strings have held up with easy tuning in all sorts of climates. Love them!
