## Description

The world's most renowned ukulele string maker introduces new Nylgut strings and is Aquila first product to be developed in house to be its own proprietary design. Nylgut strings were developed by blending three different synthetic components to make a composite material that sounds better and stays in tune better than standard nylon strings, but with the feel and playability of genuine gut. An added feature of this exclusive composite material is that is was designed to absorb less moisture than other strings; which greatly improves intonation and tuning accuracy. Compared to standard nylon strings, new Nylgut strings have a density similar to gut, but provides an even more refined sound; eliminating the characteristic metallic-like tones often found in other synthetic designs. For the best sounding synthetic gut string that still gives the player the feel of genuine gut, Aquila new Nylgut are the perfect choice!

- GUT-LIKE TONE: Sweet, warm sound with excellent player feel, mimicking traditional gut strings, ideal for beginners, students, and professional musicians.
- STABLE TUNING: Moisture-resistant composite material ensures consistent tuning stability, perfect for practice, stage performance, or recording sessions.
- PRECISE INTONATION: Accurately gauged strings of varying densities provide enhanced fretboard accuracy and precise playability for all skill levels.
- POWER & BRIGHTNESS: The Red Series 4th string increases material weight without altering gauge, producing a brighter, more powerful sound suitable for all 5-string banjo styles.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice mellow sound and easier on the fingers.
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 12, 2022*

Depending on your banjo, you might need to add beads at the bridge ends. If you do need to add beads, they need to be large enough to not pass though the string hole, and the beads need to have a hole in them that you can pass the string through two or three times. Just hooking these strings through the metal tabs on some banjos will result in the strings snapping off in the tab when you tune up. There’s probably a better way to do it, but that works for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Okay-ish
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 27, 2020*

Bought them because I had heard good things about them. I did not like them very much, however. I ended up replacing the first, second, and fifth strings with standard Diadarrio strings. The drone string would "squeek" with the nylon, and the high strings did not ring as warmly or as clearly as I wanted. There seemed to be empty space between notes.The 4th and 5th are a bit muted and plunky and I'll probably change them too, but I like the mixture of tones at the moment - mellow on the low end and bright and clear in the high.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    They break and would be better with a loop end.
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2022*

They broke, both packets.  Highly disappointed.
