Aquila 31U: Mandolin Tuning for Concert Ukulele

The Aquila 31U - New Nylgut Series, Ukulele String Set enables concert ukulele players to tune their instrument in CGDA (fifths), similar to a mandolin or viola. Musicians gain access to a broader melodic and harmonic range with this specialty set. Designed specifically for concert ukuleles, the 31U transforms a standard uke with one string swap, letting you play mandolin parts and classical arrangements without changing instruments.

What Makes This Set Stand Out

Warmth and tactile response reminiscent of gut strings are provided by New Nylgut material, while humidity stability is enhanced. Two wound strings (C and G) in the set produce a bright attack and extended low-end sustain—features rarely found in ukulele strings.
