D’Addario NYL019W is a .019 gauge silver-plated copper wound single string

An ideal replacement string for Pro-Arte series silver-plated sets or for custom gauge set construction

Warm, projecting tone

Made in the U.S.A. for the highest quality and performance

Construction is another key component of string performance. D’Addario offers a variety of construction methods to help you achieve your perfect tone and feel:

Â

Basses
Round Wound ⠓ The most popular and universal construction delivers that traditional textured feel most players are familiar and comfortable with.Â
Lightly Polished – We start with a finished round wound string then precisely flatten the tops of the windings through our unique polishing process. The result is strings with a smoother feel and reduced finger noise with the flexibility and tension of a round wound string. Great for recording!
Trebles
ProArte Laser Sorted Nylon ⠓ Each ProArte treble string is sorted by a sophisticated computer-controlled laser machine which performs 200 diameter/tension measurements, insuring true sounding, precisely intonating trebles, set after set.
Classics Rectified Nylon ⠓ Each treble string is ground using our exclusive centerless grinding technique. Roundness and dimension control are unsurpassed ensuring absolutely perfect intonation.

Classical Materials

String materials can have a dramatic impact on your tone, feel and string life. Here is a quick look at D’Addarioâ ™s diverse selection of classical basses and trebles:
Basses
80/20 Bronze – Composed of 80% copper and 20% zinc, commonly referred to as brass, preferred by some players for its brilliance and projection.
Silver-plated Copper ⠓ Warm, acoustically rich copper which is plated with ultra-smooth silver for the ideal classical guitar tone. D’Addarioâ ™s most popular classical string material.
Multifilament Nylon Core ⠓ Nylon effectively replicates the sound of silk and gut strings with better durability and consistency.
Multifilament Composite Core ⠓ D’Addario exclusive high-tech core material dramatically improves string life, tuning consistency and possesses a bold, more dynamic response.
Trebles
Clear Nylon ⠓ The traditional standard for classical strings. Balance of warmth, brightness and projection with an ultra-smooth surface preferred by many professionals for its comfortable nail contact.
Black Nylon ⠓ A warmer, mellower tone than clear nylon and a popular choice for folk and some classical guitars.Â
Titanium ⠓ A contemporary treble material with attractive purple hue, smooth feel and brighter tone than traditional nylon. A popular choice for darker sounding instruments or when paired with our Composite or EXP basses.Â
Composite ⠓ Monofilament composite material delivers increased brightness and projection for 3rd/G strings. Provides more balanced volume transition between basses and trebles.
