    Beautiful sound! Good idea to do this! Ball end nylon strings might solve the string breakage at the tailpiece.

    I'm having mine converted to nylon string as I type this. Did you have any problem with the 5th string nut slot being too narrow? I'll be using LaBella #17 strings and a vintage style tailpiece.

      Yes, think that would work great, but at a lower pitch to reduce tension. So double F maybe

      Make sure strings are locked on to the posts. Nylgut strings can slip. Utube has various knots to use.

  • @stephrgmn102
    @stephrgmn102 10 месяцев назад

    Gorgeous playing ! Love the timing of each notes. Which kind of strings do you use ? Do you need to tweak the banjo's setup when changing from steel strings to nylon, other than compensating for the tension ?

    • @thebanjogentleman
      @thebanjogentleman 10 месяцев назад

      Thank you! These are Aquila nylgut strings, no adjustments were needed at all. I did choose to use a two leg bridge but I don't think it makes much difference

    Do you need a different bridge with the nylon strings?

    • @thebanjogentleman

      You might want a lighter bridge with only two legs for nylon strings. But these are steel strings in this video.

    • @nvdawahyaify
      @nvdawahyaify 9 месяцев назад

      The reason why they are called p-i-m-a in classical guitar, is that is the first letter of the Spanish names for the fingers; pulgar, indice, Medio, anular.

    @parengstrand3101 11 месяцев назад

    You do know that you can get Nylon, or any kind of syntetic strings, in any kind of strength you want at a strings dealer, right? Don't have to experiment with already set sets of strings at trial and error.
