Well, yes. Like a classical guitarist, I count overwound on nylon or silk as "nylon". Best of luck in your search. I hope the solution doesn't run to half of your monthly food bill. Best, Chris.

Only the first string is nylon, The other three are like classical guitar basses - a nylon silk core wound in silver-plated copper. So far I haven't had to change the strings - the instrument is less than a month old. But at some point I'm going to have to find out exactly what they are and where to get them. And also what alternatives I might try. Cheers, Rob On 28 August 2013 12:14, Christopher Stetson <[1][2][email protected]> wrote: This sounds great, Rob, both your playing and the instrument.
