NYLGUT UKULELE STRINGS
INTRODUCTION The development of a new synthetic material that can imitate the acoustical characteristics of gut but without the typical defects such as high cost, short string life, and severe instability to changes of climate, has always been a fundamental goal of Aquila's research. Nylgut is the result. Nylgut's formula is protected by U.S. and International patents. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FIELD OF APPLICATION Nylgut has a specific density and acoustical qualities nearly identical to that of gut, and is the first truly successful synthetic version of the natural product. Other strong points of Nylgut are its elevated resistance to wear under tension-greater than that of gut-but even more important is its extraordinary immunity to changes of climate, considerably better than that of Nylon and thereby ensuring a superior stability of tuning under normal conditions. NYLGUT FOR UKULELES
Nylgut strings are quickly becoming the choice of ukulele players worldwide. I have received many positive comments about them, and people have told me that their instruments have been transformed by Nylgut strings. I am very happy to be able to offer strings that make such a profound improvement in the ukulele sound. The Nylgut strings for ukuleles are highly polished to a smooth surface. Visit this very interesting site to see the sonic tests that confirm Nylgut as the synthetic successor to gut strings. sonic tests AQUILA USA DOES NOT SELL UKULELE AND BANJO STRINGS AT THE RETAIL LEVEL.
