Synthetic Gut and Silk Set for Aquila 82C AMBRA 800, Simplified Version

About this item

• excellently voiced, not as bright as modern nylon strings with less sustain, more fundamental weight. The AMBRA set was created with historical accuracy in mind.
• the finest gut and nylon strings. Until the middle of the 20th century, guitar strings were only plain gut for trebles and silk core wound for the basses. They had different acoustic performance from modern strings, marked timbric presence, response and brightness typical of gut strings, and a sound like wound silk strings for the basses.
• sounding exactly like the wound silk strings of the past. The new synthetic Nylgut material has the same acoustic properties as gut but without its typical issues: high cost, limited duration, and instability in varying climate. Nylgut allows one to rediscover familiar sounds and provides better tuning stability than the material it imitates.
• set for Classical Guitar 1790-1880 performances. Trebles: NYLGUT, Basses: NYLGUT multifilament core/ silver-plated wound. AMBRA 800 - 19th Century Guitar set, a synthetic version of the 800 string set (1790-1880 musical performances). One grade of tension, Nylgut for trebles and silvered copper wires wound on Nylgut multifilament core for basses to recreate the perfect balance between wire and core.
