Seit einiger Zeit vertreibe ich auch Saiten für Zupf- und Streichinstrumente von AQUILA. Ich verrate kaum grosse Neuigkeiten wenn ich hier betone, dass diese Saiten mit zum Besten gehören, was derzeit für Laute oder Streichinstrumente zu bekommen ist. AQUILA bietet verschiedene Typen von Saiten an:
SEICENTO is distributing music strings by AQUILA for stringed instruments (lutes, viols, etc.). It's not a secret that AQUILA strings are of very high quality. AQUILA is producing different types of strings:
1. High Twist
"high twist " plain gut strings, varnished or oiled. First choice plain gut strings for general use in high and mid registers.
2. Double Twist - Type "V"
"V" strings possess a remarkable degree of elasticity and pliability, superior to any strings currently on the market.
3. Loaded Gut Type "C" - Completely re-designed!
Special smooth roped gut strings (like ours VENICES ) characterized by a high, standardized specific weight (twice than natural gut) , achieved by a loading process with metallic copper powder. Diameters smaller than 180 C are manufactured with a gradual loading decrease, in order to keep the otherwise excessive brightness of sound of the thinner strings under control and at the same time to obtain a higher tensile resistance and a longer playing life. Reddish brown color,oiled surface.
Acoustical properties and field of application
Strong and warm tone, without the excessive brightness typical of wound strings, perfectly coherent with the tone and dynamics character of gut high strings. Excellent in staying in tune, better than any plain Gut, Nylon Nylgut and wound strings available today.
Indispensable for Renaissance and Baroque stringing till the 1st half of the 17th Century, in the strictest respect to authenticity.
Nylgut
1. Rectified Nylgut Type "NG"
Nylgut has the same gut's density (gauges are the same of the gut) and acoustical qualities similar to that material.
2. Thick Nylgut Extrabasses Type "NGE"
Specificially designed for the diapasons of Archlutes and Theorbos / Chitarroni and for early and mordern harps. Brilliant acoustical qualities!
3. Wound Strings Type "D"
First quality wound strings vernished with copper wire!
4. Wound Strings on Nylgut Type "DE"
Specificially designed for the deep basses of archlutes, d-minor-lutes, theorbos with shortened extension, but also for the basses of regular Renaissance and Baroque lutes if you prefer a more fundamental oriented sound.
Nylon
Rectified Nylon Strings
Rectified nylon strings are available in a wide variety of diameters covering high and mid registers. Clean sound, long playing life.
Wenn Sie wissen möchten, welche Saiten Sie für Ihr Instrument brauchen und was diese kosten, schicken Sie mir einfach ein Fax oder ein Mail mit Angaben zum Instrument :
- welches Instrument (Laute, Gitarre, Gambe, etc.)
- welche Stimmung (z.B. Theorbe in A oder G)
- welcher Stimmton (a=440/415Hz?)
- Länge der Mensur.
Ich mache Ihnen dann ein persönliches Angebot!
Wichtig !!!
Da ich nicht alle Darmsaiten für die vielen verschiedenen Instrumente und Mensuren am Lager halten kann bestelle ich die Saiten erst, nachdem Ihre Bestellung bei mir eingegangen ist. Ich denke, dass man üblicherweise in der Regel bereits rechtzeitig vorher weiß, ob und wann man neue Saiten braucht, und insofern - wenn nicht gleich mehrere Saiten auf einmal reissen - in Ruhe die Lieferung abwarten kann. NYLGUT-Saiten habe ich (fast) immer am Lager und sofort lieferbar.
Preise:
meine Preise sind die Aquila-Preise. Für Verkäufe innerhalb der EU berechne ich keinerlei Aufschläge. Es kommen lediglich 19% MWSt. und Versandkosten hinzu.
If you would like to know which strings you need and how much you will have to pay for send me just a fax or a mail with some information of your instrument
- which instrument (Lute, Guitar, Viol, etc.)
- which tuning (Theorbo in A oder G, etc.)
- a=415Hz / a=440Hz / a= ? Hz
- string length.
I'll make you a personal offer then!
Important !!!
Unfortunately it is impossible to have gut strings for all different types of instruments, string lenghts, diameters, etc. in stock. I order the strings immediately when I have received your order. Of course It takes a bit more time, but I think that usually you know in advance if and when you need new strings. NYLGUT strings I do have in stock!
Prices:
My prices are the same as shown in the Aquila pricelist. Inside the EC I only have to add 19% VAT and the postage costs.
