Aquila Nylgut Soprano Ukulele Single String, Wound, Low-G
Aquila’s Nylgut strings are made using innovative materials, discovered and perfected in their laboratory after a long period of research and after being thoroughly tested, thus giving rise to a new synthetic product of high technology.
Important Information
1) Just like gut, the New Nylgut® is liable to suffer from cutting edges. 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 steel wool (000).
2) The best sound quality develops when the strings have completely ‘settled in’, which can take a bit of time. To achieve a 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. Rinse and repeat this process until the tuning of the string stabilises.
