Regular or Super Nylgut? Aquila Super Nylgut Ukulele String Review

A comparison of the new (Feb 2014) Super Nylgut ukulele strings with the existing Aquila Nylgut equivalents. If you are watching and wondering, the uke in the video is a Kala KA-BFTE. The strings are availabke at Omega Music - omegamusic.co.uk/buy/index.php...

Based on this demo, i would say super nylgut are better for struming. The frequencies on each strings is not 'blending' (or bumping?) one to another, but when it came to fingerpicking super nylgut feels more tighter than regular. I'm not a fan of both Nylgut though but the new super nylgut guess worth to try.

[@ralphbarhydt8974]

I have a brand new Kala Ziricote baritone and the super nylgut strings are terrific. I liked this demonstration because I could hear the difference. Very interesting.

[@bassmentality]

My Packet of Super Nylgut 4 U is a Gold packets. Just to bring this video up to date!

[@wtpwtp]

Good comparison. Thank you!

[@Kwood10]

I like the super . That’s what I have on my Kala Tenor & I really like them .

[@mariontl6764]

Good to know. Looking forward to receiving my Kala tenor, SMHT. It comes with the Aquila super nylgut strings. I am a beginner player, and used to the Aquila nylgut strings on my concert Lohanu.

[@PhilUSAFRet]

Super Nylguts seem to be the standard strings for banjo ukes for many.

[@Enlil-JHVH]

I have the new nylgut on my uku bass... Looking forward to upgrading to the super but not in a rush tho

[@cakepop333]

I was wondering what song was the first tune that you played, or was it just made up? I feel like I have heard it before and I really like it! Thanks!

[@MrEricgal]

Enjoyed your playing. To my poorly trained musical ear I thought the super nylgut sounded a bit louder.

[@ingridlindstrom5308]

Very nice to listen to you. Lovely sound. Ingrid in Sweden

[@OmegaMusicUK]

Thank you Ingrid!

[@ziggybass8592]

Yes thank you Ingrid ! you notice he only replied to a swedish women, it's all about the sponcership!

[@kenjjo12]

or all those low Gstrings?

[@geeko9999999]

thanks for this. I put a set on my Martin tenor, jury still out. I have not has good luck with the reds. nice playing btw.

[@ianwarnes9304]

Thanks Andy - I've done a Savarez and Aquila ukulele string comparison too - and I have to say I'm favouring the Savarez

[@MusicIsMyRice]

From this video, super sounds more rich and focus then the normal new. Hope that this is not due to the different of ukulele use. Anyway, I just bought super online and looking forward to the try

[@glennedwardgo]

Regular for fullness, Super for definition.

[@Matthews_Media]

I used earphones to try and hear the difference and the Super Nylgut sounds brighter and more "Detailed"

[@alishamittal3731]

What is the density of the super nylgut string?

[@pcorriveau1982]

The Super has a more pleasing sound.

[@schpoingle]

it's kinda hard to tell the difference. one sounds a little closer to the microphone...or 'it's louder' as other's say..sounds like they are both a good choice.

[@ianwarnes9304]

+schpoingle I was in exactly the same position for everything.

[@ziggybass8592]

No one seems sympathetic towards bass Ukuleles. Mine is a big 21" bass piezo acoustic. I just dont have strings for it. I know no one to ask and youtube presenters dont answer me here. I just wanna know what will fit my 21 inch bass 21" with a bit to spare for through bridge and tuning pegs? It's all new to me with Uke's! Thanks

[@gjune36]

+ziggy bass Try Aquila 91U. Those are ukulele bass strings, tuned to E A D G.

[@nosloppyplease]

I honestly don't hear much of a difference in ukulele strings I just like the feel of the sugars and even better they are biodegradable

[@PhilUSAFRet]

Sounds to me like the lows are fuller with the regular nyguts

[@wingplum]

PhilUSAFRet Agreed, the super sounds too close to metal string.

[@thisispi1491]

PhilUSAFRet yes lows are nicer deeper with regulars, but the mids are nicer and deeper with super nylguts

[@DodgeWasinger]

Is there a way I can find the little rifts you played?

[@ianwarnes9304]

+Dodge “RodgerDodger97” Wasinger Sorry - most were just made up!

[@kenjjo12]

inside the packet has 3 metal and 3 nylon strings, which one is the low g-string?

[@ianwarnes9304]

You are thinking guitar strings - the G will be the thickest of the nylon strings.

[@kenjjo12]

its ok, I already haved them fixed in G and its a ukelele

[@usernamemykel]

Kanilea Mahalo Mike votes for the Super Nylgut!

[@cecilquirino6349]

The super is brighter...I prefer the regular one.

[@erika.emrich]

Prefiro a New Nylgut ou Daddario Clear Nylon. São mais confortáveis para os dedos

[@jeffbellin8224]

Knowing the ukulele in the video, if that's what is being used, I'm not sure that it's ultimately the best test. It's a pretty instrument, with nice visual detail, but entirely laminated model. It has sweet tone, but limited in dynamics and doesn't have the most extended decay. They were expensive compared with other ukes on the market given that solid ukes can be purchased for the same price.

[@joebian4065]

I have a laminated booted concert uke and after playing it quite a lot for a year or so..it has opened up and sounds better than some of my 'solid' wood ukes..esp when strummed firmly (has a nice woody sound with very good volume and decay ) highly recommended

[@joebian4065]

Aaaargh auto correct..meant bocote

[@johnonorgan]

cant tell the diff maybe easier to play
