Classic Banjo Strings with Authentic Old-Style Warmth

Players searching for authentic old-time banjo tone will appreciate the Aquila 6B Nylgut Series, Old Style Banjo String Set for 5-string instruments. This set is crafted specifically for DBGDG tuning and uses Aquila’s advanced synthetic Nylgut material to evoke the warmth and response of traditional gut strings while offering modern benefits. The Aquila 6B string set is engineered for light tension, making it accessible to beginners as well as seasoned folk and traditional players.

What sets these strings apart?

Nylgut, a proprietary synthetic material developed by Aquila, was designed to mimic the sound and feel of historical gut strings, but with greater consistency and durability. Thanks to the all-synthetic construction, players notice resistance to climate instability, which can otherwise affect tuning and string longevity.
