Detail 01
Red Series material approach
Specific weight varies by string while the gauge remains unchanged.

Independent shopping perspective
The Aquila 87U Red Series is a red string set for a tenor ukulele with a high-G configuration. Rather than increasing gauge to pursue lower frequencies, the Red Series changes material specific weight from string to string while keeping gauge unchanged. Aquila positions that construction as a way to retain brightness and response across the fretboard, while helping intonation remain steadier than with thicker strings that need more pressure to fret. Choose it when the instrument calls for this high-G tenor setup.
