Gold Tone BSN-L Nylgut Light Gauge Banjo Strings

The Gold Tone BSN-L Nylgut Light banjo strings bring you the best of both worlds. With a synthetic nylon material that withstands changes in climate far better than natural gut, they provide exceptional tuning stability. Yet these strings still recreate the rich, warm tone that makes gut strings so prized among discerning musicians. The BSN-L Nylgut Light strings are engineered to have the same density and feel as traditional gut strings. So you get that classic sound without the tuning issues. They're an ideal fit for banjos, as well as other plucked instruments like lutes, mandolins and ukuleles.

Withstand Tension Better Than Natural Gut

While gut strings sound fantastic, they have some practical downsides. Their organic material can be quite sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. This often leads to unstable tuning and decreased string life. The BSN-L Nylgut Light strings solve this problem with their synthetic nylon material. It has extraordinary immunity to climate fluctuations. So you'll enjoy consistent tuning, rain or shine. These strings also have excellent resistance under tension, exceeding that of natural gut. You can dig in confidently without them going out of tune.

Mimic the Warm, Rich Tone of Gut

Even with a synthetic build, the BSN-L Nylgut Light strings capture the coveted tone of traditional gut strings. Their material has the same density and acoustic qualities as natural gut. So you get that full, warm and pleasingly "organic" sound. The nylon also has a smooth feel, providing comfort during long practice or gigging sessions. If you love the tone of gut but want more tuning reliability, these strings deliver.
