About Aquila 96C Guilele Strings Set
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
80% appreciated the long-lasting strings, though 20% experienced premature wear
I have been using this set of strings for over a month and they have not let me down yet.
I suggest that stringing almost any guitalele with these aquilas will produce a much better instrument than the manufacturers strings.
It was recommended by a reviewer to replace the strings with better strings.
After only three to four weeks of playing, the winding on my fourth string has worn through at the first and second fret.
