I think only those that like nylgut have responded. No offence, but I strongly dislike it. I dislike the tone colour, the falseness in high positions, the unreliability of pitch (uneven streching), and the feel. For me it is a 'dead' string: no character and the worst characteristics of nylon (plastics feel and uneven strechting) and gut (falseness) combined. Perhaps it is the best thing after gut, but it is no comparison, it doesn't even come close. But as I said: no offence to those that are happy with it, this is just my experience, and, admittedly this is limited to three years nylgut on a romantic guitar, the occasional try on a renaissance lute and what I see and hear weekly from my lute pupils playing on nylgut. Many of which, by the way, are changing to gut, these days. :-) David
