Aquila 2B Nylgut Banjo Strings: Classic Tone, Modern Strength

This set brings old-style character to 5-string banjos using innovative synthetic materials. Carefully developed to match the promptness and warm tonal qualities of gut, these Nylgut strings offer a feel and sound that stands out from traditional nylon or metal alternatives. For players using DBGDG tuning and seeking light tension, this model fits a wide range of vintage banjo styles.

Standout Features

What makes these strings unique is the use of a proprietary bio-plastic Nylgut, enhanced with metallic powders for improved brightness and stability. With an unwound 4th string from the Red Series, players notice clarity and a smooth feel, avoiding the oxidation and roughness common to metal-wound strings.
