The Aquila 38C is the high tension Perla set: Bionylon trebles with Perla silver-plated copper basses. Bionylon is a plant-based nylon that sounds and feels like conventional clear nylon, clear and balanced with a familiar touch, and high tension adds projection and a firmer response for larger guitars and players who want more drive. The Perla basses are voiced to match the trebles for an even sound across all six strings.
Aquila is a family-run string maker in Vicenza, Italy, best known for inventing Nylgut, a synthetic material that reproduces the density, feel, and sound of real gut strings without gut's cost, fragility, or sensitivity to humidity. The 37C is the same set at normal tension.
