Aquila Nylgut Baritone Ukulele Strings - DGBE low D tuning (AQ21U)
Aquila Nylgut Baritone Ukulele Strings (DGBE low D tuning)
The New Nylgut is the first product developed and patented by Aquila.
The New Nylgut is nor common Nylon or Carbon (Fluorocarbon 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 than 0.1% against the 2.0% of Nylon normally employed for the musical strings (i.e. Du Pont Tynex polyamide 6-12).
The New Nylgut produces a superior sound compared to Nylon strings due to its higher density, which is similar to pure gut at 1.30 gr/cm3. It also lacks the metallic quality of strings made with so-called "Carbon" (Fluorocarbon) PVDF, making it quite possibly the first truly synthetic gut material in the world.
Features:
A better sound than Nylon or PVDF, similar to the genuine gut strings.
A more accurate fret-intonation due to the well gauged material.
A very stable intonation under moisture changes.
