Sorry for starting a new thread, first of all, i have just joined the list so i can't reply to the original thread about nylgut strings. For all of you who don't know me, i'm the owner of Cuerdas Pulsadas ([1]www.cuerdaspulsadas.com) and we had this issue about 10 months ago (strings break as soon as they were tuned). Finally, Aquila Corde confirm us that there was a production problem in some batches and gauges until 0.50 were affected. They send us new and fixed strings and then we send the replacements to our customers . After that, all strings from Aquila came with a little stick on the envelope in wich you can check the batch details (month and year, for example). And, most important, the probleam dissapears. We don't have any complaint since then. So, keep in mind that it was a specific issue and that it's already fixed. Regards David Morales Cuerdas Pulsadas
