The medium tension Aquila 7B Supernylgut Minstrel Banjo strings offer a stronger more durable formulation of Aquila's Nylgut for protection against nicks and cuts from the sharp edges of nuts and saddles and aggressive playing. The set includes a silverplated copper wound on Nylgut multi-filament core G string. The maintain intonation to a much greater degree. Along with a superb new look these great sounding, pearl-colored strings have a very smooth polished surface that reduces unwanted noise and is great to the touch.
