About Aquila 97C Alabastro Light Tension, New Nylgut, string set for high demands, percussive tone
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
87% appreciated the long-lasting strings, though 13% experienced premature wear
I noticed that the high E string split and broke during the initial setup with the string. This indicates poor durability of the string.
The high E string split and broke during the initial setup, indicating poor durability.
During the initial setup, I noticed that the high E string split near the bridge. I was able to cut it at the split, flip it around, and still string it up. Although it has not broken yet, it is not ideal for a brand new string to split. It snapped when it was around the B pitch of the 2nd string, still 2 1/2 steps away from its final tension.
77% found it easy to install, but 23% found it difficult

The strings sound beautiful, lively, bright, and vivacious, but somehow ancient, too.
