Aquila New Nylgut® Ukulele Strings - Concert Low G
New Nylgut® - Concert Low G
The New Nylgut® is the first product developed and patented by Aquila.
New Nylgut® is neither common nylon, nor “carbon” (fluorocarbon or PVDF), nor a mix of them.
It is a plastic compound of three different components. Compared to nylon, New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune longer.
Due to its higher density, similar to that of pure gut (1.30gr/cm2), New Nylgut® produces a better sound than Nylon and that is not so metallic as that of the so-called “carbon” (fluorocarbon) PVDF strings.
In other words, it is probably the first genuine synthetic gut in the world. The New Nylgut® assures:
- Better sound nylon or PVDF, similar to genuine gut Strings;
- More Accurate fret intonation due to the precisely gauged material;
- Very Stable intonation under moisture changes
Our sets are made using innovative materials, discovered and perfected in our laboratory after a long period of research and after being thoroughly tested, thus giving rise to a new synthetic product of high technology.
