An Aquila Innovation Designed for Projection and Consistency
The Thunderbrown strings represent a major advancement by Aquila Corde Armoniche for the bass ukulele. Their design is based on plant-based bioelastomers enriched with a dose of metal integrated into the blend to increase projection and presence while maintaining a pleasant feel. The micronized copper is progressively dosed: minimal on the first string and maximal on the fourth, offering a consistent acoustic response across the entire set.
Who and What For?
This set is aimed at musicians who want to get the most out of their bass ukulele in real-world conditions: rehearsals, acoustic playing, live sessions, or home practice with a true sense of dynamics. The increased tension improves precision and stability under the fingers, making attacks cleaner and dynamics easier to control, especially for modern styles.
Power That Opens the Door to Playing Without Amplification
The highly projected sound allows these strings to be installed on instruments with traditional soundboards (without solid tops) and enjoy an impressive output without an amplifier. Compared to classic elastomer strings for bass ukulele, the Thunderbrown also stand out for their thinner diameter, close to the feel of an acoustic bass, while ensuring a natural left-hand glide. The tension has been increased compared to Aquila Thundergut, Thunderblack, and Thundered sets, for a more responsive and "modern" playing experience.
