The New Nylgut® is the first product developed and patented by Aquila. Nylgut® is a plastic compound of three different components.
We'd say most ukulele enthusiasts seem to agree that fitting a set of Aquilas is the FIRST and BEST way to improve the tone of a cheap ukulele. The volume and tone improvement will knock you out and are well worth the price of fitting a set.
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 (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.
In other words, the New Nylgut® is probably the first genuine synthetic gut in the world.
The New Nylgut® assures: - better sound similar to the genuine gut strings; - a more accurate fret-intonation due to the well-gauged material; - a very stable intonation under moisture changes.
The best sound quality develops when the strings have been completely stretched, which ordinarily takes some time. To achieve a more stable intonation in just a few minutes you can repeatedly pinch each string at mid-length with your fingers, pull it decidedly sideways and tune it up again. Stop when the string does not pull out of tune anymore.
