a visit to the factory of AQUILA CORDE ARMONICHE, Manufacturers of fine gut strings...
http://www.aquilacorde.com
To see how Nylgut strings are made see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Yp1O...

Mimmo Peruffo and Daniela Gaidano guide Bosko & Honey around their workshop... showing the process of making genuine gut strings, and Mimmo demonstrates how he makes wound strings by hand!
The Nylgut strings are also made by Aquila, but here we only see the finished product (look out for what's in the garage!).

Filmed immediately after the 1st Italian Ukulele Festival

which was sponsored by Aquila...

We're very grateful to Mimmo and Daniela for their time, support and kindness... and for their wonderful strings!

Thanks also to fellow ukers Maik and Jeanette who also appear in this video.

Is anyone else as fascinated by the music at the beginning as i am? Are there two people playing it, or is possible to play on one uke?

[Bosko & Honey]

Hi - it's 2 ukes. We've put a link to a recording of it with 2 ukes and a guitar in the video description. Glad you like it!

[Bosko & Honey]

The storm was very exciting! Glad you liked the video, thanks!

This was just GREAT! What a mind opener, I never knew somebody actually made the strings like that. Love the real old fashion methods.

[Bosko & Honey]

Thanks Ville, it was news to us too!

Aquila strings are great indeed... nice to see that it's a small, privately operated business.

[marcelvark]

This is amazing material, but also brilliantly produced... You guys are artists, in any way.

[bpedaci]

Somehow I suspect their operations have expanded quite a bit since 2009.

[MrJPMcDaniel]

If I were able to "thumbs down" a second time, that would instant.

[MrJPMcDaniel]

I can't stand the constant ruination of art. This IS nothing, if only a farce. Please do NOT support this LIE. Sorry.
