GUEST,Geoff Guitar: Do Nylon Strings need changing? (27) Guitar: Do Nylon Strings need changing? 08 Feb 02


For reasons too dull to bore you with, I'm without my usual steel strung guitar for a few weeks.

Because I've been missing playing, I've got my old dusty Spanish guitar out.

It hasn't been used for years, so the first thing that needs doing is to put some new strings on it.

I change the three wound bass strings. They are dirty so a new set obviously sounds a lot better.

I change the plain nylon G, and to be honest it sounds worse than the old one?!?

Gets me to wondering, is there any point changing the plain nylon ones?

I can understand dirt, rust etc with metal or wound strings, nut nylon?

Any thoughts?

Geoff
