of the past, but has resulted in strings with unexpectedly superior
acoustic and mechanical properties compared to those made with gut
strips. The HU type strings have a surface that has only been flattened
enough so that the string is not wrong; Then the string is lightly
oiled.
Silver wound strings (Type FU)The Aquila FU
strings are made of pure silver with an undivided lambgut core with the
aim of reproducing the typical materials and proportions of the wound
strings of the 18th and 19th centuries.
