Aquila 4U Nylgut Soprano Ukulele Set

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

Compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune better, because the moisture absorption is less of .1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings.

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 or 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 and a very stable intonation under moisture changes.
