On the basis of extensive experience in the field of ancient and modern gut processing techniques, Aquila believes that only when we take inspiration from the tradition of the great string makers of the past does it become possible to discover the magic of sound that only gut, and now Nylgut, can offer.

The discoveries of the past few years, including the ancient gut loading-weighting process that AQUILA first re-discovered, and the perfection of the Nylgut manufacturing process that has revolutionized the world of synthetic strings, allow us to build a bridge into the future by developing natural gut and synthetic strings with totally innovative acoustic and technological properties: the future of music has always been anticipated through strings.

Hilo strings by Pegasus Guitar & Ukuleles are precision ground to close tolerances. This helps them stay in tune and play in tune. They are made from Tynex, which is more resistant to moisture than nylon.

Innovation has been a key for us since 1964 when our company founders brought a wealth of string making experience to a small family-owned business.

Now, 35 years later, as a top brand in the global market GHS Strings is staffed with dedicated personnel trained and experienced in string technology. Our continuous innovation can be seen in such areas as our ìBrightness Barî (found on select string packages and designed to show what strings will produce which tones), our close collaboration with key artists (who often actually provide direct input during the string design process for Signature strings), and our ongoing efforts to create new and exciting product.
