Aquila 5-string Banjo Set-Light 6B

5 STRING TIMELESS BANJO DBGDG Tuning (all Nylgut + Red Series 4th )

The New Nylgut is not common Nylon or Carbon (Fluocarbon fishing line or PVDF), or a mix of them. It is a plastic compound of three different components. Compared to nylon, the New Nylgut produces a better sound and stays in tune better, this is 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.
