The April 20 will fulfill an old dream: go find the elder Roy, Texas.
<p>
Who is Roy?<p>
Roy is a dear Lord of 86 years that I consider my second father and great prompter who sees into the future: he was the first to launch the Aquila chord strings for ukulele in USA and hence the exponential spread everywhere.
<p>
The story? Behold: in December 2001 we sent a parcel with white for lute strings 4 asking him if he could please try them on a ukulele. He, like the saw, was terrified. White ropes Schifose instead of the traditional black. But not cornered... Roy felt if the these strings were sent me to test out...... he would test them.... just as any good Texan would do (Chuch Norris where are you?) and so called his boy and literally told him: ' take this crap of white plasticaccia and mount them on any low-quality Chinese ukulele so then I can answer this I'm Italian moron '.
<p>
But when the boy returned Roy found himself with great amazement because in his hands this cheap instrument now sounded like his top line ukulele.
<p>
Roy then wrote an email touching the January 1, 2002 (which I keep super-closely) wanting a lot (a lot!) of those ukulele strings .... IM-ME-DIA-TA-ME-NT-E (sic!).
<p>
I replied that I had only those that I sent and that I had neither knowledge nor packaging envelopes used about the ukulele strings.
<p>
He wrote to me straight back that I had drunk the brain and we thought him. A week later I got a big box with dozens and dozens of bags of different brands of ukulele strings to see and a ticket in which was written between the lines: EL 3ALAM and MOVE YOUR DAMN ASS!
<p>
I started to draw the packaging envelope ... that we all know. Roy, on his web site immediately opened a large number of pages dedicated to Nylgut and comments of people happy .... started the revolution for us too: and who was there more behind it?<p>
For many months Roy's site was the only one in the USA and so on Thanksgiving day ... thanked Roy that his web site existed! <p>
Current Plan of Action:..... Arrival in Houston, a car rental Bill, through galveston, through a brief desert area avoiding rattlesnakes and go after him. Waiting for me! The appearance!<p>
What is Roy's gift?.... The first die plate for nylgut strings now consumed is that I used then to realize the first ukulele strings. wait for me Roy!<p>

Talk about good news.... I can't wait to tell the friends of Ukulele World how excited I am....<p> Roy T. Cone
We are the first dealer in the world to receive a shipment of Aquila's new RED SERIES UKULELE STRING SETS. A small order arrived this morning.
RED SERIES UKULELE SETS The RED SERIES sets: a unique look and a strong, consistent sound.
Until now, it was necessary to increase a string’s gauge to reach lower frequencies. But increasing the string’s diameter also increases internal dampening. That makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled:
The thicker the string, the duller the sound.
Aquila's revolutionary new approach —never introduced before us— changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge unchanged.
The result is amazing—the instrument sounds brighter, more powerful and more responsive through the entire range of the fret board.
The strings also maintain their intonation better (because thicker strings need to be fretted harder, pulling them farther out of tune). Until now, this result was reached only with harps where the scale of the strings is continuously varied.
RED SERIES sets provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love clear, sharp sounds and powerful voicing across the full scale of the instrument.
You never heard a sound like this before, simply because before it did not exist.
As the first order we received was small.... Please don't wait too long to order the new AQUILA RED SERIES Ukulele strings.

Yes, and we also have strongly disliked wound strings on the ukulele.
Aquila has made it possible to totally replace any wound string on any ukulele... even the two wound strings on baritone ukes
AQUILA RED SERIES are a High Tech replacement for every uke wound string.
From now on you will finally be able to tune your ukulele in Low G ensuring the right balance sustain and power and intonation on frets fully integrated with that of the upper treble strings.
The Red Series is basically a high tech product made with an elastic Nylgut's version added with heavy copper powder in order to increase the specific gravity of the string.
The secret of the best bass strings is always high elasticity and high density of the material.
Aquila Red Series strings will not wear-out the frets on your instrument... will not "hiss" as you move up the fretboard playing.... will not be rough on your finger tips.
THESE ARE A WONDERFUL NEW BREAK-THRU AND THE BEST PART IS THEY OUTLAST ANY KIND OF WOUND STRINGS WHILE SAVINGS THE WEAR ON THE FRETS OF YOUR TREASURED UKULELE.
We continue to be the first dealer in the USA to have these new Aquila products. We have a limited supply, so place your order now.
Thank you for your business!
Talk about colorful, the PukanaLa gig bags and surf sacks have it all. The surf sacks are a new idea for me.... but are just right for taking your uke and some extra essentials to the beach, the mountains, or wherever you go for outdoor fun with your ukulele

There are two series.... the ABS series cases are outstanding in construction, have delightful internal cushions and come with low prices.... and the deluxe PC series cases are world-class and are dynamite!

What are these Moku Ukuleles?
The Hawaiian word “Moku” means Island, which was the original inspiration for these beautiful Ukuleles. There is just something so simple and beautiful about the Ukulele –just like the Polynesian Islands they originated from. Play one yourself and bring your self back to the Islands.
Moku Ukuleles are amazing sounding instruments that have the craftsmanship of higher-grade instruments but with an affordable price tag. All Instruments are designed and spec’d here in San Francisco then manufactured with Top Notch Workshops overseas. When you play our Ukuleles you can’t put one down, it’s quite contagious! The Tone, the higher-grade wood used, the attention to detail, and the overall playability of these fine Ukes is what makes these instruments stand out.
Moku Ukuleles — Follow your passion!!!
Ole Roy here... Lemme say we have been looking for these MOKU UKULELES for more than a year. They are arriving... and what a wonderful instrument they are.... perfectly built, perfectly finished, with beautiful sounds... bringing back wonderful memories of all the beauty of the islands.
