Aquila Gut & Silk 900 Strings – Period-Authentic Tone for Classical Guitar

Aquila’s 64C - Gut & Silk 900 set is crafted to replicate the playing feel, sound, and response of guitar strings from the Llobet and Tàrrega era (circa 1870–1946). Guitarists using this model can explore tonal presence and expressiveness missing from nylon and carbon strings. The set features varnished gut trebles and silk core wound basses, supporting true historical performance. This instrument is ideal for musicians seeking the authentic sound of early classical repertoire.

Handmade Historical Materials and Techniques

Standing out with its commitment to historical accuracy, each string is handmade in Italy: trebles from varnished gut, and basses wound on genuine silk. These traditional materials recreate the tactile and tonal characteristics described by renowned early 20th-century musicians.

Who Should Choose This Set?

Intended for classical guitarists and early music specialists, the set delivers an authentic sound palette and playing experience of period instruments. Players interpreting Tàrrega, Llobet, or other Romantic guitar composers will benefit from gut and silk construction for true historical interpretation.
