Synthetic strings F-Red Series

The F-Red Series are the new synthetic strings for bowed instruments, developed by Aquila Corde Armoniche as a valid alternative to natural gut. They are made with plant-derived plastics, including a sugar-cane compound that was recently discovered in Italy. Wound strings use varnished copper wire instead of silver-plated copper.
Eco-sustainable, stable in intonation and durable, the sets have been designed for the following instruments:

• Violin, Violoncello, Bass Gamba (two degrees of tension)
• Viola, Violone in G, Tenor Gamba, Treble Gamba (one single degree of tension)

Notice:

• to avoid damages, do not cut the strings; in case you want to shorten them, first spread some quick glue around the point where you want to cut;
• once installed, before you start playing them, it’s important to apply some rosin on the portion of the string that will come into contact with the bow.
