First off, three of the strings are not "red". I was expecting #FF0000 red, but these are more of a reddish clay color.
Second, the low G is wound. And they painted the metal red, so this becomes the one string that is actually the advertised color.
Third, the whole "uniform diameter" thing only seems to apply to the G, C and E strings. The A string is visibly thinner than the others.
So all in all, this product is nothing like what I expected from the packaging. And the string texture is fairly rough compared to fluorocarbon, and even compared to Nylgut.
I was so ready to give these one star and return them, but DAMN do they sound fine. These replaced Worth clears, and I actually like these much better. They are clear and loud, and make the whole instrument vibrate and seem to come alive. So much so that I'll even forgive the metallic sound I hear whenever I slide up and down the wound G string.
I'm happy and angry!

If you're looking for the unwound low G string, be sure to order AQ-86u; otherwise you'll get the wound string with this set. Not sure they're available on Amazon. I got my A!86u from eBay. Anyway, I gave these to my friend for her uke and they sound superb. Rich, crisp sound. Makes all the difference in the world in tone. These string are awesome. Be sure to check out some YouTube videos on stringing these puppies in particular. Have been seeing some complaints about breakage. Here's one: http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=aquila+red+strings+youtube&FORM=VIRE2#view=detail&mid=F7102F010C8BCEC540FEF7102F010C8BCEC540FE

Not sure what is up...., 4th string is a wound string? It's red, but definitely a wound string. It matches the labeling and best I can tell all four were supposed to be the composite strings. I feel let down, I wanted to give the fancy new copper composite low g a shot. I tried for a photo but not sure it will be clear enough.

There have been review that have stated that these strings break when first stringing them up on your uke. There are videos on how to stretch these strings out. I've had them on my main uke now exclusively for over a year and I've never broke a string. Now onto the sound, I love how these strings sound! Of course this is subjective so you should seek out instruments that have them or online videos to see if you like them. The only way I could describe them is very "woody" if you play them you would know what I mean. I like the low G set because I've been playing more Jazz uke and the lower tuning lends itself to the songs. I cannot recommend these strings enough!!

Didn't realize these were actually red! Sound at least as good as the nylgut set I had before and have some projection to them. I have been using the extended range for my sight reading class and combined with my solid top concert uke, I can be heard pretty well even playing single notes.

inconsistent quality when buying online. I've had some issue with strings breaking when wound as of lately, however purchasing these strings 5 months ago there was no issue at all, I have opted for the super nyglut alternative as I hoping they'll be a little more durable.

Packaging says model 33/B but an added sticker says "AQ-86". An additional sticker says "7/2015". There isn't a model 33/B. Only a model 33U. The color of packaging is red with black printing but should be red with gold printing. Color for 33U is beige with black writing. Aquila warns about counterfeits. Think it could be why some have wound and others don't? Colors are different as well. Mine are 1A red, 2E and 3C are brownish red and 4G is a wound red.

The package was not clearly marked to let me know which string was which. Strings slipped out of unsealed plastic when the package was opened and left me to guess which strings were which. I'm new to Ukuleles so needed to get someone's expertise. Tag on package covered up the string code. Strings are fine, just a packaging issue..
