Aquila 30u New Nylgut Ukulele Set, GDAE
If you’ve ever wanted your ukulele to sing with the soul of a mandolin, the Aquila 30U New Nylgut Ukulele Set (GDAE tuning) is your gateway to a whole new tonal world. Designed specifically for soprano ukuleles, this unique string set allows players to tune their instrument in fifths—GDAE—mimicking the familiar tuning of a mandolin or violin. It’s a game-changer for folk players, classical crossover musicians, or anyone with an experimental streak looking to breathe new life into their uke.
At the heart of this innovation lies Aquila’s groundbreaking New Nylgut material—a synthetic string composition that captures the warmth and organic feel of traditional gut while offering vastly improved tuning stability, resistance to wear, and tonal clarity. The low G string is wound, giving it added depth and resonance, perfect for rich bass runs and expressive melodies.
This set isn’t just a novelty—it’s a serious tool for musicians looking to expand their vocabulary. Whether you're converting a ukulele into a mandolin-style folk machine or just curious about alternative tunings, the Aquila 30U delivers with character and class. And as always, Musicmaker is proud to stock strings that inspire new musical paths.
