Nylgut is presented as a synthetic alternative to natural gut.

Independent shopping perspective
Gold Tone BSN-L is a light-gauge Nylgut string set made from synthetic nylon. It is designed to retain the density and playing feel associated with traditional gut while offering greater resistance to climate changes and tension than natural gut. In practice, it suits players choosing a synthetic alternative where stable tuning through changing conditions matters. Gold Tone also identifies the set for banjos and other plucked instruments, including lutes, mandolins and ukuleles.
