Aquila New Nylgut Ukulele String Sets
Aquila New Nylgut – The Industry Standard for Ukulele Strings
Available at UKE Republic — your family-run, one-stop ukulele source since 2007.
Aquila’s New Nylgut isn’t just another string option — it’s the set most ukulele manufacturers rely on straight from the factory. If you’ve ever unboxed a new uke and loved the feel and tone right out of the gate, there’s a good chance New Nylgut was doing the heavy lifting.
Made from Aquila’s proprietary three-part synthetic gut blend, New Nylgut delivers the warmth and punch of traditional gut with the durability players expect today. It offers richer tone than standard nylon and avoids the sharp, overly bright edge some “carbon” strings produce.
What players notice immediately:
- Warm, resonant tone with impressive projection
- Excellent tuning stability after a short break-in
- Spot-on intonation, even when humidity changes
- A familiar feel—because so many brands use them as their default set
These strings simply behave well: they sound good, they settle quickly, and they make almost any uke feel more alive.
