I was looking for a set of strings that will have well balanced volume and warm tone for jazzy style ukulele playing and I found it. The Aquila Reds Low G Concert is the one you want. Very low stretching period, strings stay in tune after two days and intonation is spot on. Highly recommend this set.

Fantastic

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020

Style: StringsVerified Purchase

Wow! Love them

Ok so not an expert review, been playing for only a few weeks. I started out on a low end uke with Fluorocarbon Strings which were bright and twangy, but had limited sustain.

I upgraded my uke last week to something a bit nicer and it shipped with the Águila Nylgut strings which sounded a bit “deader” and were quite thick.

These reds are wonderful. They are brighter and sustain better than the other 2. They also have a very nice feel and seem to be a smaller gauge.

The sound is just night and day. I was on the fence about the Luna I purchased, but these strings made me fall in love. They sound wonderful, feel great, are easier to play than the Nylguts. They also look great and contrast with my uke beautifully.

I bought the low G String version of the reds. It’s true that the G is wound and plated/painted true red. The other strings are more of a brick color. I don’t mind at all. The strings fit my nut without any modification.

They need time to stretch. I have had to tune every 5-10 mins or so of playing for the last hour. They needed to stretch a lot it seems, but they are now to the point of very minor adjustments. I suspect they will stay in tune quite well after a bit more break in.

I love these. They are perfect and really just make me excited to play my uke!

Solves uke intonation issue

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023

Style: StringsVerified Purchase

Since ukes have re-entrant tuning the saddle isn't compensated. This causes problems with intonation and when you add a low G string it gets exacerbated. These strings have different densities that effectively work to compensate for the straight saddle. Only strings I'll use on all 9 of my ukes.

Great tone

These strings provide a warm and vibrant tone that you will never get from a metal wound low G setup. The best strings i've found for my acoustic uke setups.

easy to install, sounds really great, no breakage issues

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019

Style: StringsVerified Purchase

Aquila Red strings have a bad reputation on the internet for breaking easily. That may have been true of early batches of these strings, but they have been on the market for many years now and I'm sure Aquila has been improving their formulation to remedy that problem. The set that I bought is stamped with a manufacturing date of a couple of months before I bought it.

I installed them on my concert ukulele with no problems. I kept the strings tight when installing and brought them up to tension carefully. They stretched a lot during the first couple of days, but were pretty stable after that. Sound quality is great - louder and brighter than the fluorocarbons I was using before without a noticeable loss of sustain. The low G set has a wire-wound G string that is painted a brighter red than the other 3 strings. I usually don't care much about aesthetics, especially of strings, but these look kind of cool on my ukulele that has a reddish solid cedar top.

Tenían razón en una referencia qué leí sobre este kit de cuerdas. Es como tener un nuevo instrumento y para mi fue genial porque ya me estaba empezando a pasar la novedad del ukulele... Suena más parecido a una guitarra. Y ya no se me desafina tanto como con mis cuerdas anteriores. Al principio si por que las cuerdas se van estirando pero ahora me encanta! Me encanta el color.
