Sugar Trebles: Expressivity and Dynamics at Your Fingertips
Designed for classical guitarists seeking a comfortable light tension, the Aquila Sugar set stands out with its treble strings made from a bio-plastic derived from sugarcane. On attack, it delivers a clear sound and a quick response, with an inspiring liveliness perfect for phrasing, accents, and dynamics.
Unlike Fluorocarbon strings, the Sugar strings particularly highlight vibrato and the timbre palette : by slightly moving your right hand (closer to the bridge or the fingerboard), you achieve more pronounced and musical colors. Laboratory tests also report differences of +18% power and +24% sustain compared to Fluorocarbon, providing a stronger sense of hold and projection.
Finally, Aquila applies a new treatment aimed at reducing finger noise: a real advantage in the studio, amplified playing, or simply for cleaner slides and position shifts. A relevant choice for musicians who want a responsive, expressive, and pleasant string without hardening the left hand.
