2-Pack Aquila New Nylgut 4U Soprano Ukulele Strings 21 inch Regular High G with 2 Free Felt Picks;

The New Nylgut is the first product developed and patented by Aquila.

The New Nylgut is nor common Nylon or Carbon (Fluocarbon fishing line or PVDF), or a mix of them. It is a plastic compound of three different components

Compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut produces a better sound and stays in tune better, this because the moisture absorption is less of .1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings (i.e. Du Pont Tynex polyammide 6-12).

Due to the higher density, similar to that of pure gut (1.30 gr/cm3), the New Nylgut produces a better sound than Nylon and it is not so metallic like those of the so- called 'Carbon' (Fluorocarbon) PVDF strings.

In other words, the New Nylgut is probably the first genuine syntetic gut in the world.

The New Nylgut assures:

a better sound than Nylon or PVDF, similar to the genuine gut strings;

a more accurated fret-intonation due to the well gauged material;

a very stable intonation under moisture changes.
