About a year ago I saw a reference to a higher density form of nylgut that sounds the same as the normal stuff. Unfortunately I am now unable to dig
up said reference. Does anyone happen to know what it's called and where to find it?corridoio - 11-18-2010 at 08:33 PM

Hello Ameer,
NYLGUT is NYLGUT and there exists only one of this. As corridoio still said the Producer is Aquila in Italy.
Up to beginning of November this material was white and it has a density of ~1.30 ( gut has 1.33 ) so if you calculated a gut diameter , take one
diameter more if you use NYLGUT.
At the 8th of november Aquila started the production of his new NYLGUT which is
gut colored
Tensile strenght: the New Nylgut is stronger than the first white version.
Stretch quantity : it stretch less than the first white version, in practise it stretch more or less like the common gut strings
I have all the single strings in my stock and up from the beginning of december I will have the new NYLGUT too.
All the best

Thank you for the precisions Matthias.
Do you know if there is a difference in sound?
