Aquila 226U High C Single String: Modern Innovation for Acoustic Bass

The Aquila 226U - Flat Spiral Series, Acoustic Bass Single String - High C stands out in acoustic bass accessories with an advanced blend of materials and construction. By using a distinctive combination of copper and bioplastic, this model delivers both improved tone and a unique playing experience. Bassists looking for a precise, stable High C string will find the 226U a seamless addition to 5-string acoustic basses. Aquila’s focus on innovative bioplastics and high-density copper helps meet sustainability and sound quality standards.

Advanced Flat Spiral Design & Unique Materials

Rather than following the path of traditional bass strings, the 226U uses a pure copper winding around a "Sugar" bioplastic core. This combination creates more acoustic energy, richer overtones, and a softer touch. Expect a flatwound string with less tension and a smoother, less metallic sound than typical steel or nickel versions.
