Product Overview
The trebles of the Aquila Cristallo set are Cristallo nylon, extruded by Aquila in its own factory and named for its clear, glass-like transparency. Its very smooth surface gives a full-bodied, velvety sound.
The basses are Aquila's traditional silver-plated copper, wound on a Nylgut multifilament core.
Set 138C is the superior tension Cristallo set, a full set of six strings. Made in Italy by Aquila Corde Armoniche.
