hello people!

I wanted to ask if all the sets of aquila have nylgut strings or some have normal nylon?

thanks a lot!

Aquila makes strings for many instruments. Their unwound treble strings include strings made from nylgut, from gut (of different sorts) and of nylon that is different from DuPont nylon. But, so far, all their string sets that are designated as being for oud have treble strings made from nylgut. The lower courses are usually copper wound on a core of nylgut filaments.
