La Bella RQ80 Requinto Strings

The La Bella RQ80 strings are purpose-built for the Requinto, a smaller-scale nylon-string guitar that plays a melodic lead role in Latin American trios and romantic music. The Requinto is tuned higher than a standard guitar, typically a fourth above, and requires strings designed for its shorter scale length and unique tuning to produce its sweet, singing voice.

These nylon strings deliver the bright, clear projection that Requinto players need to carry melodic lines over guitar accompaniment. The balanced tension ensures smooth playability across the instrument’s range, from the delicate upper register to the supporting lower strings. La Bella’s dedication to traditional Latin American instruments makes the RQ80 an essential find for Requinto players who want strings made specifically for their instrument rather than improvised from classical guitar sets.
