Aquila 31U Nylgut Concert FIFTHS TUNING

concert ukulele string set, fifths tuning like viola da braccio, C-G-D-A (wound C and G). compared to Nylon, the New Nylgut® produces a better sound and stays in tune better, this 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 and it is not so metallic like those of the so- called ‘Carbon’ (Fluorocarbon) PVDF strings. In other words, the New Nylgut® is probably the first genuine syntetic gut in the world.
