Standard Nylgut Series

The development of a new synthetic material that can imitate the acoustical characteristics of gut but without the typical defects such as high cost, short string life, and severe instability to changes of climate, has always been a fundamental goal of our research. The New Nylgut® represents the fruit of this research and is a good synthesis of the acoustical properties of nylon and of PVF (carbon) strings.

Series: Soprano, Concert, Tenor, Baritone

Super Nylgut Series

SUPERNYLGUT® sets: enjoy your playing with a superb new look and a better sound performance. We are proud to launch the upgraded version of our famousNylgut® strings: the Supernylgut ukulele string have a charming natural pearl color and a very smooth and polished surface feels like wax. So pleasant for your eyes and for your fingers! They are alsoless stretchy than any previous Nylgut® version , this resulting in a faster setting to proper tune when new and in a tendency of easily maintaining the intonation when reached. On top of this, Supernylgut is stronger and does not suffer from sharp edges of the nuts, marks from frets or hard nail playing. And you can get all these upgrades together with the wonderful richness of tone which made our Nylgut® a success! Amazing!

Red Series

A unique feeling and a strong, consistent sound. Until now, it was necessary to increase the gauge of a string for it to produce a lower-pitched note. But increasing the string’s diameter also increases internal dampening. That makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled; the thicker the string, the duller the sound. Our revolutionary new approach — unique to us — changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge almost unchanged.

Bio-Nylon Series

We are proud to introduce the Bionylon® , the first eco-friendly synthetic string in the world. These Ukulele strings are made of rounded, smooth Bionylon® monofilaments – a new material discovered by us- that also boasts excellent acoustic and mechanical properties.

Bionylon® is 68%, a plant’s derivate (castor oil); this allows a reduction of more of 50% of carbon dioxide’s emissions in the atmosphere during the polymer- synthesis than the other common Nylons employed for musical strings. Warm and mellow performances!

Series: Soprano, Concert, Tenor

Real Gut Series

The origin of the employment of gut to make musical strings is lost in the mists of time. Through the centuries manufacturing techniques were gradually refined until they reached the perfection unanimously recognised as the trademark of Italian and French string makers in the 17th to 19th Centuries. The purpose of our work, supported by constant research and painstaking experimentation, is to offer natural gut strings produced by modem craftsmen working in the centuries old Italian string making tradition that has been passed on from one generation to the next. We endeavour to provide you with the very best results of this practice and aim to capture the magic of sound that only gut, of all materials, can achieve.

Series: Soprano, Banjo

Price (RRP): £14.99 - £39.99

Banjo Series

Until the mid-20th century Banjos were mounted exclusively in gut, a material that had been used for thousand of years and that combines excellent promptness of attack with brilliance of timbre – very different, in other words, from modern nylon strings. And until recently the typical sound quality of gut has been a constant point of reference for lute-makers, composers and performers alike. A fundamental aim of our research has therefore been to make a new synthetic product having the same acoustic properties as gut – but without its typical defects.
