Your cart is empty.The world's most renowned ukulele string maker introduces new Nylgut strings and is Aquila first product to be developed in house to be its own proprietary design. Nylgut strings were developed by blending three different synthetic components to make a composite material that sounds better and stays in tune better than standard nylon strings, but with the feel and playability of genuine gut. An added feature of this exclusive composite material is that is was designed to absorb less moisture than other strings; which greatly improves intonation and tuning accuracy. Compared to standard nylon strings, new Nylgut strings have a density similar to gut, but provides an even more refined sound; eliminating the characteristic metallic-like tones often found in other synthetic designs. For the best sounding synthetic gut string that still gives the player the feel of genuine gut, Aquila new Nylgut are the perfect choice!

Excellent so far. This set is on an 1870-80s era for perhaps one last adventure in playability. I am impressed with the “red” string tech claims and performance so far. I will be buying a complete red set for another banjo.

I've been using this strings since 2012. They've been my go to string Over that time I had three strings break. It's always been the bass string at the bridge. After the third time and spending so much money on these strings about 22 packs I figured they replace one. After about 5 emails they said it my fault. So I am out.

Depending on your banjo, you might need to add beads at the bridge ends. If you do need to add beads, they need to be large enough to not pass though the string hole, and the beads need to have a hole in them that you can pass the string through two or three times. Just hooking these strings through the metal tabs on some banjos will result in the strings snapping off in the tab when you tune up. There’s probably a better way to do it, but that works for me.

I love these strings! I have always enjoyed playing banjo but have never played on a regular basis. After changing to Nylgut strings, I now play everyday. They just sound that good! It’s how a banjo should sound, in my humble opinion, though there is still plenty of reasons to keep a steel string banjo going. But for my money, I am sold on Nylgut strings.

This is not a product review. Just a comment on what I received.For some reason, I expected to receive a single package of Aquila Nylgut banjo strings. Instead, I received five packages of Aquila Nylgut strings: two packages of banjo strings of different gauges and three packages of Nylgut ukulele strings. The ukulele string packages were sandwiched between the two banjo string packages. So that was odd. I can't imagine why the two different kinds of strings were bundled together like that.Anyway, I got more than I thought I was getting, so it worked out.

Bought them because I had heard good things about them. I did not like them very much, however. I ended up replacing the first, second, and fifth strings with standard Diadarrio strings. The drone string would "squeek" with the nylon, and the high strings did not ring as warmly or as clearly as I wanted. There seemed to be empty space between notes.The 4th and 5th are a bit muted and plunky and I'll probably change them too, but I like the mixture of tones at the moment - mellow on the low end and bright and clear in the high.
