D´Aquisto writing about their own strings:

"Much has been written and said about the way musical strings are made and the materials used. However, no one ever defines the terms used to describe their string products. For example, many companies call their strings hand made. What does this mean? Modern guitar strings, quite simply, can not be made without the aid of machinery of some sort. The machines used are basically similar to a lathe. The string´s core material is stretched between two points, then the outer windings are applied as the core spins. Hand made usually means that the core is stretched by the machine operator and the windings are applied by hand feeding the outer wire without the help of a calibrated tensioning device. While the concept of hand made may sound like a good idea, consistency is the most important thing in guitar and musical strings. No matter how good a feel a machine operator may develop over time, he can not match the precision of a machine. On the simplest level, just imagine trying to hand draw a straight line without a ruler.

D´Aquisto Strings are manufactured in our own factory by our own machines. What does this mean? It means that we not only wind our own strings, we also build the machinery on which the strings are wound. Our machinery is fully automated and state-of-the-art so that each string is made exactly the same every time.

D´Aquisto is not just another private label brand. What is a private label brand? Many of the brand names that you may see in music stores today are actually made by other companies and packaged under various brand names. Not only do these companies not make their own strings, but they may actually use many different suppliers at any given time. This in itself may not be bad, but a company selling a private label brand will have very little knowledge of the manufacturing process and no direct control over quality. Another problem is that the string set that you get may be slightly different each time. And, as you can imagine, it is also very difficult for such a company to research and develop new products. At D´Aquisto we are constantly trying new ideas to improve string quality and evolve our products and machinery to the cutting edge of technology. A good example of this is our revolutionary new TaperLock Series Bass Strings. Such a high-tech string would have been impossible to develop without our own factory.

We can tell you with certainty that we use the finest quality materials and that our strings are as good or better than what you may currently be using, but you must be the judge. We invite you to try D´Aquisto strings.

We know you will be happy!"
