![]() The appearing of wound strings caused, starting from the end of the 17th century, the definitive abandoning of the ancient manufacturing techniques of the traditional all-gut bass strings. In 1997 Mimmo Peruffo patented and introduced to the market strings of NYLGUT, a synthetic material that offers a good substitute for gut on plucked instruments, greatly improving their performance when compared to nylon strings used until then. This solution gave a richness of sound to bass strings at a time when wound metal strings (an innovation of the later 17th century) had not yet been invented. Aquila Corde: research an innovationĪquila Corde was born in the 1990s out of the researches of the string manufacturer (and amateur lute maker and player) Mimmo Peruffo.įrom his researches in museums across Europe, he was able to formulate and convincingly establish the theory that ‘loaded’ or impregnated gut strings were used for bass strings on lutes in the 17th century. We are proud to announce the immediate availability of a new type of bass strings developed by Aquila Corde, and we have the best person to talk about it, Mimmo Peruffo.
