Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What makes Nylgut strings better than standard nylon?
Answer: Nylgut strings offer improved sound quality, better tuning stability, and a feel similar to traditional gut strings. -
Question:
Are Nylgut strings suitable for beginners?
Answer: Yes, they are ideal for beginners, students, and professional musicians alike. -
Question:
Can Nylgut strings maintain tuning during performances?
Answer: Absolutely! Their moisture-resistant composite ensures consistent tuning stability during practice and performances. -
Question:
What kind of tail piece to use?
Answer: I bought these “nylgut” strings, loop-tied the ends, and attached them to the tailpiece hooks on my Deering Goodtime a little over a year ago. They don’t seem prone to breaking, but I don’t play frequently. When I do it’s all clawhammer. Not sure if that might make a difference. -
Question:
These are fatter than steel. They won't stay in the grooves of the bridge. Are there bridges with wider grooves?
Answer: They are about twice the thickness of steel. But, I my opinion, on a short neck, like a uke instrument, you might need gut because it would make the instrument too hard to fret if you were to use steel. -
Question:
Can you tune them to double C tuning?
Answer: These are low tension, you can get there though. I usually use the 5Bs for CC or G tunings. 2Bs are great for lower tunings down from G. I tune to G relative in key of E or CC relative in key of B usually, but have gone to G and CC.
Aquila Banjo Accessories AQ-2B Editorial Review
The Aquila New Nylgut AQ-2B Banjo Light Tension DBGDG-Set of 5 4th Red Series String has received mixed reviews from customers. Some customers seem to be disappointed with the quality of the product, as they experienced the strings breaking prematurely. This issue could be due to the wrong tailpiece being used or the strings not being installed correctly. However, other customers absolutely love the product and think it has improved the sound of their banjo, making them want to play more often. Some customers also suggest that adding beads to the bridge ends may be necessary for some banjos. One issue with the product is that the strings need to have a loop-tie attached to one end before they can be used, which adds an extra step for the user.
