Nylon vs. Fluro-Carbon
Polished Nylon ensures classical strings are precision round and a precise diameter over the entire string. This ensures the musician can play in perfect fifths across larger diameters.
Fluro-Carbon has a higher density compared to nylon, so a carbon string provides a smaller diameter, which reduces stiffness, and increases vibration. This emphasizes upper harmonics, thus gives a more brilliant timbre.
Plain and polished Carbon strings show the same behavior of nylon strings, but polished Carbon strings are more sensitive to sharp-edged bridges and nuts.
The Results: The durability of Pyramid’s Nylon strings are excellent while the Fluro-Carbon line offers a more brilliant timbre in classical guitar performance.
