Its features includepromptness of attack,excellent performances and a trulyremarkable stability ofintonation under moisture changes. The Alabastro Basses, wound with high quality silver-plated copper, consist of a Supernylgut multifilament core that ensures not only a high resistance to tensile stress but also a low absorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweat.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila's famous Nylgut strings. The synthetic material Super Nylgut ("synthetic gut") have the same acoustic properties as gut - but without its typical defects - (high cost, limited duration and high instability under varying climatic). Nylgut has precisely these qualities: allowing one, on the one hand, to rediscover the sonorities familiar to the great 19th and 20th century masters; and guaranteeing, on the other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings. Review: Excellent sounding strings but without long life span! - These are, in my opinion, the best sounding classical guitar strings, at least among many others I have tried. They don't last long, but last enough to be worth buying. I keep buying them. Review: Very nice strings - very nice tone. Almost like a dry percussive feel. Holding up well after several weeks of use. Tension works well on 3/4 scale guitar. ## Features - other, a stability of tuning higher even than that of the best gut and nylon strings. - sorption of both atmospheric humidity and sweat.SUPERNYLGUT is theupgraded version of Aquila's famous Nylgut strings.
