![]() While it might seem fancy to say you play titanium strings, the reality is that most of these words refer to either the sound or the color of the string and in fact all of these strings are made of different blends of nylon.Īside from this, gut strings, silk strings and even some plant fiber strings are still available for purchase and some players do still prefer these more organic alternatives. With words like Titanium, Dynacore, and Crystal entering the string scene in the last twenty years you would be forgiven for feeling a little overwhelmed by the choice of materials used in the string manufacturing process. It was Albert Augustine, founder of Augustine Strings, who first experimented with nylon as a material for guitar strings and it is through his collaboration with the infamous Andres Segovia, who was famously a huge fan of the gut string sound, that we have the modern nylon string as we know it today. The push towards nylon came, as do many innovations, with the Second World War, in which catgut resources were depleted through their use as medical sutures and the innovation of nylon as a synthetic replacement was developed by DuPont. For centuries instrument strings have been made of whatever natural resource was available to the region – horse hair in Scandinavia, plant-fibers in South America, silk in south-east Asia and famously catgut (animal intestines) in Western Europe. Therefore, these blends are mostly kept secret by almost all manufacturers.Ĭlassical guitar strings have not always been made out of nylon however. The specific blends of nylon used in a string’s creation are what gives each string set and each string manufacturer their identity. Most modern classical guitar strings are made of nylon, with the trebles (strings 1, 2, and 3) made of a single transparent nylon string and the basses (strings 4, 5, and 6) made of hundreds of individual strands of nylon that have been wrapped with silver or bronze plated copper thread. The Basics What are classical guitar strings made of? Now that we've got the basics out of the way, let's jump into the bulk of this post!
