First quality wound strings made by Aquila Corde, with varnished copper wire.
The innovative idea was to employ a Nylgut® multifilament core (very stable to the moisture changing) and to partly limit the production of the very high overtones giving the metallic edge that is generally present in the strings of this type and never welcome by early music lovers.
The thinner strings, the ones more subject to wear-and-tear, are protected by a light superficial vernish which also grants a longer playing life.
