almost all string makers.
The art of string making was born in this beautiful part of the world and many great brands in 
today’s worldwide market can trace their own origins here,  it's a history made of skilled hands, 
hard work, sacrifices and so much genius: typical features of  people from Abruzzo.

These innovative bass strings use copper instead of stiff metals like steel or nickel, resulting in a richer 
acoustic performance due to the higher density of copper. Additionally, the strings feature a bioplastic 
monofilament core called ‘Sugar‘, which has excellent acoustic performance and is produced exclusively by Aquila 
on a global scale.

Revolutionize Your Sound with Our Groundbreaking Wound Bass Strings
These strings are truly innovative for at least two reasons. Firstly, they do not use metals like steel or nickel, 
that are stiff, but instead they use pure copper that is softer and has higher density and result in richer acoustic 
performance. In fact higher the density, better the sound. Secondly, these strings feature a bioplastic 
monofilament core called ‘Sugar‘, which is exclusively produced by Aquila on a global scale. Sugar has been 
proven to have superior acoustic performance compared to other plastic materials, as evidenced by laboratory 
measurements.
