Nylgut snaps quickly if it encounters a sharp edge. Once it's nicked, putting it under tension virtually guarantees the destruction of a string.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718492450305622873.post-43709046663712401072013-08-20T08:53:01.642-07:002013-08-20T08:53:01.642-07:00I bought the single Red Aquila low "G" S...I bought the single Red Aquila low "G" String. I cut it to suit my concert Uke. This has solved the problem of overloading the peg. I left the original three Aquila nylgut strings in place.<br /> This has resulted in a deeper, mellow and sweeter sound. All in all a very pleasing sound.I have another Concert Uke Oscar Shimidt OU5, with the high G", I swap between them, depending on my mood. (lol) I would recommend fitting the red Aquila low G to a concert Uke, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718492450305622873.post-20376407664653183692013-08-13T12:08:39.822-07:002013-08-13T12:08:39.822-07:00I second that opinion.

I had known about this problem and followed the YouTube video instructions by Aquila but they still broke. However, if you do manage to initially get them on, they do pretty sound good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718492450305622873.post-64795120565863688382013-07-14T07:01:45.026-07:002013-07-14T07:01:45.026-07:00These are nice sounding strings, but not worth the...These are nice sounding strings, but not worth the money. The A breaks every time I bring it to pitch. The vendor gave me a new A and it did the same thing. Beware!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
