## Description

The world’s most renowned ukulele string maker introduces new Nylgut ukulele strings and is Aquila’s first product to be developed in house to be its own proprietary design. Nylgut strings were developed by blending three different synthetic components to make a composite material that sounds better and stays in tune better than standard nylon strings, but with the feel and playability of genuine gut. An added feature of this exclusive composite material is that is was designed to absorb less moisture than other strings; which greatly improves intonation and tuning accuracy. Compared to standard Nylon strings, New Nylgut strings have a density similar to gut, but provides an even more refined sound; eliminating the characteristic metallic-like tones often found in other synthetic designs. For the best sounding synthetic gut string for ukuleles, that still gives the player the feel of genuine gut, Aquila New Nylgut are the perfect choice!

Review: Aquila New Nylgut AQ-15 Tenor Ukulele Strings - Wound Low G - Sounds great and easy to install.
Review: Best Brand For Your Uke - In my opinion, the best ukelele strings out there. Soft enough for tender fingers, and I have some right now on my baritone that have lasted at least a year even though a string is tufting.

## Features

- RICHER SOUND: New Nylgut strings deliver superior tone, projection, and clarity, outperforming traditional nylon or PVDF strings for a professional-level playing experience.
- SWEET TONE: Designed to mimic the feel and warm tonal characteristics of genuine gut strings, providing excellent responsiveness and smooth playability.
- STABLE TUNING: Moisture-resistant composite construction ensures reliable tuning stability across varying humidity and temperature conditions.
- PRECISE INTONATION: Varying string densities create balanced tension and improved fret accuracy, delivering consistent, clean notes across the entire fingerboard.
- LOW G READY: Wound low G string designed specifically for tenor ukuleles, sold as a complete 4-string set for easy installation and immediate playability.
- STRETCHING IS NORMAL: Aquila ukulele strings are made from the highest quality nylon available; and when new, will stretch significantly until settled. This is completely normal. To help them stretch faster, gently pull the strings while tuning the instrument and repeat this process as necessary until they hold the appropriate note.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these strings do a mandolin tuning for a Uke. If not what would you recommend ??**
A: Mandolin tuning is GDAE, not GDEA.
Mando standard tuning is G3-D4-A4-E5 and typically has a 13" to 13 7/8" scale and have as many as 29 frets
Tenor "low G" tuning is     G3-C4-E4-A4 and use a scale that's about 17" and have 17 to 19 frets.

The difference in scale length has some additional challenges. You can probably bring the C4 string up to D4 pretty easily.  You'll need to lower the E4 string to A4, which means you'll probably need a thicker string and may need to open up the slot on the nut or risk cracking the nut. The real challenge will be bringing the A(4) string up more than an octave to E(5).  

As far as "can you do it?" goes: yes, you can bring the uke up to mandolin tuning, but it adds a lot of stress to the instrument that it wasn't designed for (depending on the instrument, you can collapse the top or tear off the bridge). You'll also find that the nylon strings won't like being pulled that taut and they'll stretch and/or break. A steel string will give you a better shot at achieving an E(5) pitch, but you risk damaging the instrument.

**Q: What low G Aquila strings are all nylgut?**
A: The low G is a wound string making it thin enough that you won’t need to file the nut. Once stretched out they sound fantastic.

**Q: My tenor uke is new. Can I just replace the 4th string with a low G string**
A: You can get a classical guitar D string, and use that as a low G string.  You'll have to cut quite a bit of it off.

**Q: What is it mean by a "set"? Is it just the 4 strings or 4 sets of 4 strings? I see other products not marketed as a "set" that come with all 4 strings**
A: One set of strings is: four strings that are each the notes for 1A string, 2E string, 3C string and 4G string. They will also be color coded so there is no confusion as to the order they will be strung over the fret board. The soprano, concert and tenor sizes of 'ukuleles can have the option of using a low G steal or a high G string. A low G string will have a fuller guitar sound to it and a high G will be light and bright sounding. Never put all steal strings onto a 'uke . You will crack the neck. Hope this helps. One set equals 4 strings in the package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aquila New Nylgut AQ-15 Tenor Ukulele Strings - Wound Low G
*by B***E on November 11, 2025*

Sounds great and easy to install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Brand For Your Uke
*by J***K on August 5, 2025*

In my opinion, the best ukelele strings out there. Soft enough for tender fingers, and I have some right now on my baritone that have lasted at least a year even though a string is tufting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality strings at a fair price.
*by M***S on January 26, 2017*

I have played guitars for years but the tenor ukulele is the newest toy for me and after some weeks now, I am absolutely having a ball with it. I am not sure what strings were on my ukulele when I bought it but my first set of purchased strings were Aquila with the high g and I really liked them. Now, my second purchased set of string are the same brand but with the low G string. If you are new to the ukulele like myself, some really novice information for you is that the lower G really fills out the sound and seems to fit more naturally into the scale of things but the high G is kinda cool too. The high g tends to be more in line for the more banjo style picking and well just more interesting strumming sounds and styles and harmonics, in general. Just now really starting to understand how versatile this instrument can be. I definitely like the Aquila brand. Today, it is more of just having a dilemma on which G to play with because both have their own merits. Probably will have to go and buy another ukulele so I can have both options. Always, open minded to hear and learn from those out there that have the experience so please feel free to respond.
