I am a fan of Aquila strings. I've been playing almost two years now. My Lanikai spruce top tenor came equipped with Aquila strings and I could not have imagined any better. I decided to try low-G tuning and naturally wanted to stick with Aquila, but not a wound low-G. I got the unwound red series low-G to go with a set of the red strings. I installed very carefully but sure enough after a few weeks the E string snapped while the uke was sitting on the table. However, the greater drawback to me was the texture of the red series. When strumming, my fingernail made a noticeable "rasping" sound on these strings which was irritating and distracting. My solution was to get a Worth brown unwound low-G and combine it with the other strings in standard Aquila Nylgut. This combination has been ideal for me. Mellow sounding, plenty of volume and sustain, no raspy side effects, durable and very playable. Aquila nylguts are still great, but Worth has them beat on the tenor unwound low-G string.
