How do you like the sound of new nylgut compared to the old nylgut ?
And compared to other strings?
Thanks, Ernesto
I like better the new ones, I find it warmer and less noisy under the
fingers. Warmer too compare to the KF I used before. A little bit brigh

On instruments with bridge and peg holes too small for heavier gauge strings,
Val, I've found it an easy procedure to enlarge them with a small "hobby"
drill. A very small drill that can be turned with the fingers, and accepts
various size drills.

Don't be so darn cheap. Cough up another ¢2 and
you can have 409, which is even better.

"Purple Haze"? If that is a special Jimi Hendrix Classical guitar

the same conclusions as I did.

This is welcome news. Just a comment on the rough surface of the old
nylgut:
Gut is not necessarily "rough" under the finger. In fact the Sofracob

Sorry to reply so quickly to myself, but I have just been thinking that
the "improvement" to Nylgut (apart from wanting the string to look like
gut) might come from Mimmo's theory of how top strings on lutes should
be fairly stiff (which the old nylgut was not). However, this begs the
