Hello, may I do some suggestions about nylgut? Here the first, usefull to stabilize nylgut immediately: stretch generously by hands each nylgut strings in the midele of the length of bone to bridge during the tuning and stop this operation only when they have'nt any more displacement and stay in tune. By this operation, made with attention on the top string only, nylgut stay in tune quite immediately. Second: it is true that nylgut have the same gut density but they have a greater displacement than gut. So if you have a gut of .44 mm gauge do not replace with a .44 nylgut but with a .46 gauge. About the colour: yes, the white colour is strange but came out from the treatment that I make on the material in the production phase. I have made some tests to switch the colour to gut-yellow but the result was much more crazy than. About the tuning stability: after tuning and stabilization nylgut stay in tune pretty well than gut; due to the fact that water absorbition is less than 0.1% against 1% of Tynex-nylon and 20% of gut. It is strange that nylgut came out like harder than gut. Normally complains are viceversa. Aquila V type are called 'Venice' strings: they are similar to the NRI catlines but with a rectified smooth surface. Gamut (Dan...) are called Pystois strings. I suppose thay are made like my Venice.
