How to choose the right nylon strings
For those who are just starting to learn the instrument and play their first chords, it can be difficult to immediately decide which nylon strings to choose for their guitar.
A huge assortment, many manufacturers, carbon, nylon, winding – all this can confuse an ignorant person and complicate the choice of the right consumables. Although even with a complete list of recommendations, you can buy strings that do not suit your sound, because this is an extremely individual matter.
Which guitars are suitable for nylon strings
Synthetic strings are used for classical playing. On it, they can maximize their capabilities and allow the musician to express himself through music. You can use them on acoustic guitars, in principle, but on them they sound muffled and it can be difficult to install them if they do not have limit balls.
Features of nylon strings
There are three types of nylon strings:
- core,
- synthetic,
- on a steel basis.
Although manufacturers are constantly developing new technologies for making strings from other materials. At the moment, synthetic ones are especially popular.
They, of course, do not have the longest lifespan, but also not such a high cost that it becomes a problem for people who have devoted their lives to music.
Gut strings
This subspecies got its name because of the manufacturing technology – animal intestines were used to create them. At the moment, they are produced only in the West and it is impossible to buy them in the Russian Federation, and if you find an opportunity, then their price will not be comparable to the service life. In addition, they are capricious – they do not tolerate dirt, high humidity, heat, and so on. Their use is advisable only if you need, for example, historical accuracy.
Synthetic strings
The most popular type of string. They are divided into two subspecies: nylon and carbon. Each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages. In order to accurately choose the right ones, you need to try both options.
The first three strings are made of bare material, respectively nylon or carbon, while the bass strings are made of thin threads in a metal round winding.
For the latter, silver-plated copper is most often used. This serves two purposes: firstly, aesthetic, and secondly, purely practical – silver does not get dirty, unlike bare copper. The service life of such strings is short, because due to the natural softness of the copper, it quickly frays in the area of the nut and bursts. The use of phosphor bronze and brass as a winding is also widespread.
Carbon strings differ from nylon strings in that their density is several times higher, and their thickness is less. Their first strings are more sonorous and bright-sounding, while the bass strings, that is, those in the winding, do not have any critical difference. So it’s not surprising that manufacturers are trying to save both their money and the money of musicians and the last three strings are made of nylon.
String tension
The tension of nylon strings is determined in the same way as for steel strings, with the difference that the differences between strings of different sizes are negligible.
This is due to the fact that the scale of a classical guitar is a concept that has long been established and unchanged. It is equal to 650 mm. Although the slight difference in tension between the strings is also due to the fact that nylon (the most popular synthetic material) is several times lighter than metal.
Nylon strings, unlike steel strings, do not have thickness indications, although in some cases such information may be tampered with. Manufacturers suggest focusing more on tension. It happens:
- easy,
- light-medium,
- normal (medium),
- strong,
- is very strong.
Storage conditions
When choosing, it is worth considering some features of nylon strings. They are very badly affected by prolonged exposure to high humidity and high temperature. In this case, the winding will fade, and the nylon itself will change color. When buying, be sure to pay attention to the tightness of the packaging.
When using nylon strings, the following simple rules should be observed:
- wash hands before playing;
- do not play combat;
- do not overtighten nylon;
- Wipe the guitar and strings periodically.

10 things to know about nylon string acoustics
Trying out a nylon string acoustic instead of the metal string acoustic you’re used to might be something you’ve never thought about. At least until this article. We understand everything. The unknown can be scary, but new musical experiences are exactly what will help you develop your musical talent.
If your primary instrument is the metal-string acoustic guitar, then we suggest you try its cousin, the nylon-string acoustic, which is often referred to simply as the “classical guitar.” And here’s what you need to know about her:
1. Nylon strings
Many acoustic guitars have metal strings for a bright, sparkling sound. Classical guitars are fitted with nylon strings that sound softer. Metal strings are stiffer, so if you’re a beginner guitarist, they’re more likely to cause blisters on the balls of your left fingers where you press the strings against the fretboard. Nylon strings are softer, so pressing them is easier and more comfortable.
2. Set aside pick
Why limit yourself to one pick when you have five? When playing classical guitar, you don’t usually need a pick: instead, you play with the fingers of your dominant hand (the right hand if you’re right-handed). The advantage of playing with your fingers is that you can get the effect of an orchestra this way.
Gretchen Menn, composer, solo artist and guitarist of the Led Zeppelin tribute band Zepparella loves this effect and the versatility that the classical guitar has. “What I especially love about classical guitar is that you can slow down at any moment and experiment with a wide sound spectrum with your right hand. In search of their signature sound and understanding how the sound range works, one more concept comes to mind: polyphony is not only the correct sequence of notes, but also general harmony. A single classical guitar part can sound like a duet,” says Menn.
3. Unusual case
The classical guitar has an elegant body. When you get your hands on a classic, you won’t see things you’re used to on your acoustic, like pickups, cutouts, fret markers, or strap mounts. However, major structural differences are difficult to see with the naked eye. In the design of a classical guitar, the thickness of the top soundboard and the layout of the springs play an important role.
“The top of a classical guitar is thinner,” comments guitar luthier Andrew Enns, “and the springs that attach to it from the back are smaller and more flexible than on guitars with metal strings: such guitars have a thicker top and stiffer springs. The principle of operation for both guitars is the same: the guitar must be strong enough to withstand the tension of the strings, but at the same time, agile enough to vibrate when the player plucks the strings.”
4. Wide neck
Due to the fact that the fretboard on a classical guitar is wider than on an acoustic with metal strings, it is easier for a player to play without touching adjacent strings, especially during complex passages or arpeggios. Of course, you can play arpeggios on an acoustic guitar with metal strings, but it’s easier to do it on a classical guitar because of the extra distance between the strings.
5. Less string tension, softer sound
The string tension on a metal-stringed guitar is stronger than the tension on nylon strings on a classical.
As a result, playing a classical guitar is easier than playing an acoustic with metal strings. Another effect of lighter string tension is the softer sound of a classical guitar. “Nylon strings are more agile and have a slow attack and warm tone, while metal strings, when under high pressure, have a fast attack and bright tone,” adds Luthier Enns.
6. Get ready to play sitting
Traditionally, the classical guitar is played while seated with the instrument between the legs, with the waist of the guitar touching the hip. Many classical guitars do not have a strap attachment, so players play them seated using a footrest. The acoustic guitar with metal strings is usually played standing up.
7. You will need long nails
Having long nails on your dominant hand (the one with which you pluck the strings) is not a requirement, but long nails will allow you to get sparkling loud sounds from classical guitar, while playing with your fingertips will give you a quieter and more modest sound.
8. You will need a footrest
The footrest will help you get the correct and comfortable posture for playing the classical guitar. In addition, you will need a comfortable chair without handles (a high bar stool will not work, sitting on it is problematic to take the desired position). When playing an acoustic guitar with metal strings, as a rule, these items are not necessary. and you can easily do without them.
9. You will need to learn how to change the strings
Picking up a classical guitar, you will immediately notice that the fastening of nylon strings is different from metal ones. Nylon strings usually don’t have a ball at the end, which means you’ll need to tie them at the bridge with a special knot. The metal strings have a special ball that is fixed with bridge pins.
10. Classical guitar can play more than just classical music
This is probably the most common misconception about the classical guitar._2.jpg)
