Designed for classical guitarists seeking professional-grade performance, these strings offer exceptional tuning stability even under varying humidity, a fast attack, and durable silver-plated basses, all in a light tension gauge that reduces hand fatigue. ## Description Set / Classical Guitar Light TensionTrebles:SUPER NYLGUT monofilament, gut-coloured (brownish)Basses: Super Nylgut multifilament core/ Silver-plated woundALABASTRO - Until the mid-20th century all Treble guitar strings were made in gut, a material that had been used for thousand of years and that combines good promptness of attack and excellent performances.A fundamental aim of Aquila's research has therefore been to design a new synthetic product having the same acoustic properties as gut, but without its typical defects (high cost, short lifetime, high instability under moisture changes).TheSupernylgut has precisely all these good qualities without all these defects. Its features includepromptness of attack,excellent performances and a trulyremarkable stability ofintonation under moisture changes. The Alabastro Basses, wound with high quality silver-plated copper, consist of a Supernylgut multifilament core that ensures not only a high resistance to tensile stress but also a low absorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweat.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila's famous Nylgut strings. The synthetic material Super Nylgut ("synthetic gut") have the same acoustic properties as gut - but without its typical defects - (high cost, limited duration and high instability under varying climatic). Nylgut has precisely these qualities: allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century masters; and guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings. Review: I absolutely love these strings and I'm so glad I've found them. As I approach 70 my hands are beginning to stiffen and I've taken to playing a 7/8th instrument which is less demanding on the hands. But finding strings which give an optimum and professional sound on this instrument has been a challenge. These strings simulate the sound of playing on gut and they produce a lovely, subtle yet bright tone with good projection. Whilst I am used to playing with standard length guitar nails I've found that to make the best of these strings, it's better to cut them right down to use more of the flesh than is usual. And I imagine that players who choose to play without nails would love these strings too. Review: Ich habe zwei Alabastro Light Tension Sätze auf zwei verschiedenen Gitarren ausprobiert. Die Saiten gefallen mir sehr gut, insbesondere die Diskantsaiten. Heller als standard Nylon aber nicht so hell wie Carbonsaiten. In meinen Augen ein sehr guter Kompromiss, vereint die Vorteile beider Saiten technologien. Die Saitenspanning ist relativ gering, was Ermüdungserscheinungen in der linken Hand vorbeugt. Ich würde sagen in der Mitte zwischen D'Addario EJ43 und EJ45. Die Saiten halten die Stimmung extrem gut, nach dem sie sich stabilisert haben. Während des Spielens steigt die Tonhöhe nur minimal bis gar nicht. Das permanente Nachstimmen in der ersten Viertelstunde entfällt. Sogar von einem Tag zum anderen braucht man nur wenig oder gar nicht nachstimmen. Das habe ich so noch nicht erlebt. Wenn man die Saiten aufzieht dehnen sich die Saiten sehr. Man muss sehr viel auf die Mechanik wickeln. Das ist an sich kein Problem, man muss nur sicherstellen das genug Platz auf der Rolle ist. Die Lebensdauer der Saiten würde ich als hoch angeben. Ich habe die Saiten deutlich länger gespielt als andere Sätze. ## Features - other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings. - sorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweat.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila's famous Nylgut strings.

Det är de tre diskantsträngarna som gör skillnad. På mina andra gitarrer är D'Addario ett bättre val. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aquila 97C Alabastro Light Tension, New Nylgut, string set for high demands, percussive tone - D'Addario Guitar Strings - Pro-Arte Classical Guitar Strings - EJ43 - Nylon Guitar Strings - Silver Plated Wound, Nylon Core - Light Tension, 1-Pack - La Bella 2001 Light Tension Silver-Plated wound Classical Guitar Strings - 028-041 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/376165806-97c-alabastro-light-tension-new-nylgut-string-set-for-high](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/376165806-97c-alabastro-light-tension-new-nylgut-string-set-for-high) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
