D'Addario's nylon, developed with Aquila — the middle ground between plain nylon and fluorocarbon.
Watch
Ukes With Alex runs through the whole D'Addario ukulele range with samples, so Nyltech can be heard against the Carbon and Titanium sets from the same maker.
Why it matters
D'Addario is the largest string maker in the market and Nyltech is the set it puts forward for ukulele. That it was developed with Aquila — the company that made Nylgut — is the interesting part: the two firms worked on the material together, so this is a nylon formulation rather than a copy of Nylgut. It is the reference nylon set against the Pro-Arte and Titanium lines from the same maker.
Note
D'Addario's Nyltech is a nylon formulation developed together with Aquila. It sits between plain nylon and fluorocarbon: warmer than carbon, with more projection than standard nylon.
