Cuerdas de Nylgut®.

Hasta  la mitad del siglo XX para el Charango, Ronroco, Cuatro, Timple Canario se utilizaron solo cuerdas de tripa, en las que la rapidez en la respuesta se juntaba con la brillantez en los matices, siendo la sonoridad muy diferente respeto a las actuales cuerdas de nylon.

Nuestro trabajo de investigación ha tenido siempre como objetivo lograr realizar una cuerda artificial que tuviera las mismas propiedades acústicas de las cuerdas de tripa, sin sus típicos defectos (escasa duración, altos precios, excesiva sensibilidad a las variaciones atmosféricas).

Con Nylgut® hemos conseguido eliminar estos defectos, logrando reproducir el timbre y los matices originarios del Charango, Ronroco, Cuatro, Timple Canario, garantizando al mismo tiempo una excelente estabilidad de la intonación, superior respeto a la que puede producirse con las mejores cuerdas de Nylon.


Atención: antes de colocar las cuerdas comprobar que las ranuras de la cejuela superior no tengan excesiva profundidad y sean perfectamente lisas y sin asperidades o ángulos cortantes.

Para lograr al cabo de pocos minutos una perfecta estabilidad de la intonación, se aconseja, en el tensar, estirar cada cuerda paralelamente a la tapa y a la altura de la boca. Suspender al notar que la cuerda cesa de alargarse.

                                                                                              ------------------------

-Until the 1950’s, only gut cords were used for the Charango, Ronroco Timple canario and the Cuatro, in which the quickness of the answer was joined with the brilliance of the tones, being the sound very different with respect from the present nylon cords.

Our investigative work has always had the objective to make an artificial cord that had the same acoustic properties of the gut cords, without its typical defects (short life time, high prices, excessive sensitivity to the atmospheric variations).

With Nylgut® we have been able to eliminate these defects, reproducing the original sound and tones of the Charango, Ronroco and Cuatro and at the same time guaranteeing an excellent tuning stability, with respect to which it can be produced with the best Nylon cords.

Attention: before placing the cords verify that the grooves of the superior bridge does not have excessive depth and they are perfectly smooth and without sharp or cutting edges or angles.

In order to obtain after few minutes a perfect stability of the tuning, it is advised, while tightening, pull each cord parallel to the sound board around the sound hole. Stop pulling when you notice that the cord stops stretching.
