Precise trebles for expressive playing
The Aquila 177C Zaffiro set is aimed at classical guitarists seeking clear trebles, consistent projection, and immediate response under the fingers. With high tension, these strings promote crisp articulation, useful both in classical repertoire and more modern playing styles, when you want a note that "speaks" quickly and remains clear in dynamics.
A plant-based alternative with a modern character
Made from a 100% plant-derived material, the Zaffiro treble strings are designed to offer behavior close to fluorocarbon : clarity, precision, and stability. The result is a bright sound, a uniform feel, and excellent responsiveness, particularly appreciated for fast passages, high-position runs, and timbre work.
