The New Nylgut is the first product developed and patented by Aquila. New Nylgut is neither Nylon nor ‘Carbon’ (Fluorocarbon), nor mix of them. It is a plastic compound of 3 different components. Compared to nylon, New Nylgut produces a better sound and stays in tune longer.
It is probably the first genuine synthetic Gut in the world. The New Nylgut assures better sound than Nylon & Fluorocarbon, similar to genuine Gut strings. Also it has more accurate fret intonation due to precisely gauged material. It has very stable intonation under moisture changes.
Attention
Just like gut, the New Nylgut® is liable to suffer from cutting edges present on Ukulele. Before stringing the instrument do make sure the nut and bridge are free from sharp edges and the nut grooves not too deep and perfectly smooth. You can get rid of sharp edges with very fine grit sandpaper (600, for example) or the finest steelwool (000).
Important
The best sound quality develops when the strings have completely set, which may ordinarily take sometime. To achieve a stable intonation in just a few minutes you can repeatedly pinch each string at mid-length with your fingers, pull it sideways and tune it up again. Stop when the string does not go out of tune anymore.
