Product Description

Aquila new Nylgut ukulele strings were developed by blending three synthetic components to make a material that both sounds better and stays in tune better than standard nylon strings. They absorb less moisture; improving intonation and accuracy.


From the manufacturer


AQ-4 New Nylgut Soprano Ukulele strings set in High G.

Hand-Crafted In Italy

The New Nylgut Series of ukulele strings by Aquila 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.

The AQ-4 New Nylgut Tenor Ukulele strings have a density similar to gut, but provide an even more refined sound; eliminating the characteristic metallic-like tones often found in other synthetic designs. For the best sounding synthetic gut string for ukuleles, that still gives the player the feel of genuine gut, Aquila New Nylgut are the perfect choice!

Key Features:

- New Nylgut strings provide better sound than traditional Nylon or PVDF.

- Designed to have excellent player feel and a sweet tone similar to that of genuine gut strings.

- Proprietary composite material absorbs less moisture to assure tuning stability.

- Accurately gauged strings of varying densities provides increased accuracy of fret-intonation.

- Designed for high G tuning.

- For Soprano Ukulele.

- Sold as a set of four strings.

These strings made my $15 uke sound like a $40 uke...
Been having the super crappy First Act soprano ukulele for years now (don't look at me like that, bought a Makala concert in March, learned to play it and have since bought 8 more ukes, all costing MORE than $15 each, so there). Figured I'd put some decent strings on this painted red thing so my friends could have a uke to misuse while leaving my others alone. I woulda learned how to play ukulele long, long ago if I had known enough to put strings as good as these on it back then. This hunk a junk is now playable, didn't think that would happen. It has terrible wood, frets, tuners (one's hanging on by just one screw, like this for years), everything just sucks, but it now holds a tune for several hours and is louder and way less toy-like sounding. And incredibly, intonation is almost perfect, not sure if that's the strings though, maybe I fiddled with it and it accidentally helped. Kinda sounds like the Makala dolphins I've played but with less bass. They probably include these or very similar Aquila strings standard on alot of ukes now (like my Caramels). If you want the most badass strings on earth for an entry to intermediate ukulele get the Aquila supernylgut 103u's, they are fantastic. If your uke wouldn't really benefit from those kind of extreme dynamics, is really cheap or if you just want to save a couple bucks, these are very good, just don't expect the performance or super fast break in time of the 103u's.
