Great comparison! Thank you! I don't think I've ever seen real gut strings up close and I wondered if they would look "slubby" and they do. To my ears, the gut strings sounded slightly flatter than the Aquilas. Thanks again, and great tune! I need to learn that one.
Of course the real go gut strings are more authentic to the history of the banjo, but I tend to prefer the sound of the Nylgut. They are cleaner and brighter and more pleasant to listen to.
I agree that the nylgut sound is cleaner and brighter. I'm no Historian so could care less about the period true dull muffled sound of actual gut strings? Just HMO!!
