Aquila Corde Armoniche di Peruffo Mimmo & C. S.a.s.

Gut strings were already produced in Padoa, Verona, Venice, Treviso and Vicenza since the beginning of the 17th century. Documents of the time show that such production lasted uninterruptedly well into the 20th century. Locally produced strings, thanks to their superior quality, were exported abroad in big quantity, as proven by numerous recently discovered archival sources. Our products are wholly produced in house in Vicenza (60 Km far from Venice), to individual requirements, beginning from fresh gut, respecting and reviving the old tradition. With this list we would like to introduce a wide range of strings and propose favorable prices; we would also like to offer you any advice and technical assistance you may require. On the basis of our experience and deep know-how in the field of ancient and modern gut processing techniques we believe that only if we take inspiration from the tradition of the great string-makers of the past it becomes possible to recover the magic of sound that only gut, of all materials, can offer us: the imitation of the human voice. The discoveries of the past few years, among which the gut loading process and the Nylgut®, that we at AQUILA's first developed, allowed us to build a bridge into the future by developing natural gut and synthetic strings with totally innovative acoustic and technological properties: the future of music has always proceeded through the strings.

OUR STRINGS ARE ENTIRELY HAND MADE WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS. ANY IMPERFECTION CONFIRMS THE QUALITY OF A HAND MADE PRODUCT.
