A Modern Alternative to Nylon to Recapture the Character of Gut
Developed among the first Aquila strings, the New Nylgut combine three plastic materials to improve both tuning stability and tone quality. Whereas nylon can absorb moisture and lose consistency more quickly, this set aims for more reliable stability. Thanks to a higher density, close to that of pure gut strings, the sound gains in roundness and authenticity, while avoiding the overly bright quality often associated with so-called "carbon" strings. A relevant choice for musicians seeking a balance between oud tradition and daily consistency, in Turkish tuning.
